Question
A point P is reflected in the x-axis. Co-ordinates of its image are (8, −6). Find the co-ordinates of P. Find the co-ordinates of the image of P under reflection in the y-axis.
Solution
From the question it is given that,
P' = (8, −6)
Therefore, the co-ordinates of P under reflection in the x-axis = (8, 6) and the co-ordinates of P" under reflection in the y-axis = (−8, 6).
