In the given figure, find the image of the line segment AB in the line PQ:

Each of the points A (0, 4), B (0, 10), C (0, – 4), D (0, – 6) and E (0, 0) is reflected in y-axis to points A’, B’, C’, D’ and E’ respectively. Write the co-ordinates of each of the image points A’, B’, C’, D’ and E’.
Mark points A (4, 5) and B (− 5, 4) on a graph paper. Find A’, the image of A in x-axis and B’, the image of B in x-axis.
Mark A’ and B’ also on the same graph paper. Join AB and A’ B’ and find if AB = A’ B’?
Examine the following figure carefully, draw line(s) of symmetry in whichever figure possible:
