Question

Point Q(-1, 5) is reflected across the line x = -1. What are the coordinates of its image? (5, -1) (1, 5) (-1, -5) (-1, 5)

Answer 1

(-1,5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(-1,5)

Explanation:

The line x = -1 is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis.

Therefore, if the point Q(-1,5) reflects on line x = -1, then the y-coordinate of the image point will not change.

Again, as the point Q(-1,5) is on the line x = -1, therefore, the image will be the point itself i.e. (-1,5). (Answer)

The horizontal distance from point (-1,5) to the line x = -1 is zero.
