Question

Point M begins at (5,-2). Write the coordinates of Ry= 1 (M). Is this correctly illustrated

below?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The reflection (R) around the line y = 1 is not the point illustrated.

Notice that the original point M (5,-2) is THREE (3) units below the line y=1, therefore when doing the reflection, it should end up THREE units above the y=1 line.

That is, it should end up at the point (5,4 ) and not at (5,3) as is shown in the picture.
