Question

Points (3, 0) and (−1, 0) are invarient points under reflection in the line L1; point (0, −3) and (0, 1) are invarient points on reflection in line L2.

  1. Write the equation of the line L1 and L2.
  2. Write down the images of points P(3, 4) and Q(−5, −2) on reflection in L1. Name the images as P' and Q' respectively.
  3. Write down the images of P and Q on reflection in L2. Name the image as P'' and Q'' respectively.

Solution

  1. (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.
  2. P' ⇒ (3, -4)
    Q' ⇒ (-5, 2).
  3. P'' ⇒ (-3, 4)
    Q'' ⇒ (5, -2).
