Answer:

The reflected point is (3,6)

Explanation:

we know that

The reflection Ry = 5, means a reflection is across the line y= 5

we have

the point P(3,4)

Since the point P has y-coordinate 4, its distance to the line y= 5 is equal to 1 units (P is located 1 units down the line y=5).

therefore

The reflection of the y-coordinate will be 1 units above the line y=5, which is equal to

5+1=6

Hence

the y-coordinate of the image is 6.

The reflected point is (3,6)
