Question
The point (–2, 0) on reflection in a line is mapped to (2, 0) and the point (5, –6) on reflection in the same line is mapped to (–5, –6).
- State the name of the mirror line and write its equation.
- State the co-ordinates of the image of (–8, –5) in the mirror line.

Solution
i. We know reflection of a point (x, y) in y-axis is (–x, y).
Hence, the point (–2, 0) when reflected in y-axis is mapped to (2, 0).
Thus, the mirror line is the y-axis and its equation is x = 0.
ii. Co-ordinates of the image of (–8, –5) in the mirror line (i.e., y-axis) are (8, –5).
