Question

If point U is reflected across the x = -3, what are the coordinates of its reflection image?

Answer 1

The coordinates of U after the reflection are: (-5, -3)

How to get the coordinates after the reflection?

By looking at the graph, we can see that the coordinates of point U are:

U = (-1, -3)

And we want to reflect it across the line x = -3.

Notice that because this is a vertical line, the y-component does not change by the reflection. Only changes the x-component, such that the distance between the original coordinates and the final coordinates to the line don't change.

The original x-component is x = -1, the distance to the line is:

d = |-3 - (-1)| = 2 units.

Then the new x-component will also be at 2 units of the line, but in the other direction:

new x-component: x = -3 - 2 = -5

The coordinates of U after the reflection are:

(-5, -3)
