- Write down the images of the points P (3, 4) and Q (–5, –2) on reflection in line L1. Name the images as P’ and Q’ respectively.
- Write down the images of P and Q on reflection in L2. Name the images as P” and Q” respectively.
- State or describe a single transformation that maps P’ onto P''.

Solution
i. We know that every point in a line is invariant under the reflection in the same line.
Since points (3, 0) and (–1, 0) lie on the x-axis.
So, (3, 0) and (–1, 0) are invariant under reflection in x-axis.
Hence, the equation of line L1 is y = 0.
Similarly, (0, –3) and (0, 1) are invariant under reflection in y-axis.
Hence, the equation of line L2 is x = 0.
ii. P’ = Image of P (3, 4) in L1 = (3, –4)
Q’ = Image of Q (–5, –2) in L1 = (–5, 2)
iii. P” = Image of P (3, 4) in L2 = (–3, 4)
Q” = Image of Q (–5, –2) in L2 = (5, –2)
iv. Single transformation that maps P’ onto P” is reflection in origin.
