Question
Mark points A (– 6, 5) and B (– 4, – 6) on a graph paper. Find A’, the image of A in origin and B’, the image of B in origin. Mark A’ and B’ also on the same graph paper. Join AB and A’ B’. Is AB = A’ B’?

Solution
The given points are A (– 6, 5) and B (– 4, – 6). The images of A and B in the origin are A’ and B’ where co-ordinates are A’ (6, – 5) and B’ (4, 6) which have been plotted on the same graph.

AB and A’ B’ are joined we see that AB = A’ B’.
