Solution
- (3, 0) and (-1, 0) lies on X-axis, so these are invariant under reflection on the X-axis. Hence, L1 lies on X-axis So, equation of line L1, is y = 0.
(0, -3) and (0, 1) lies on Y-axis, so these are invariant under reflection on the Y-axis. So, equation of line L2 is y = 0. - P' ⇒ (3, -4)
Q' ⇒ (-5, 2). - P'' ⇒ (-3, 4)
Q'' ⇒ (5, -2).
