Question

The point A (-7,5) is reflected over the line x = -5, and then is reflected over the line x= 2. What are the coordinates of

Answer 1

Answer:

(7, 5) is the final reflection of the point.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given point A(-7, 5) which is first reflected over the line $x= -5$.

The minimum distance of the point A(-7, 5) from the line $x= -5$ is 2 units across the horizontal path (No change in y coordinate).

Point A lies 2 units on the left side of the line $x= -5$.

So, its reflection will be 2 units on the right side of $x= -5$.

Let its reflection be A' which has coordinates as (-5+2,5) i.e. (-3, 5).

Now A'(-3, 5) is reflected on the line $x=2$.

The minimum distance of the point A'(-3, 5)  from the line $x=2$ is 5 units across the horizontal path (No change in y coordinate).

Point A' lies 5 units on the left side of the line $x=2$.

So, its reflection will be 5 units on the right side of $x=2$.

Let its reflection be A'' which has coordinates as (2+5, 5) i.e (7, 5) is the final reflection of the point..
