Question

If point p (6,9) is reflected across the line y =2, what are the coordinates of its reflection image

Answer 1

I think it's (6,-5) kiddo. Good luck with ya.

Answer 2

(6,-5)

Explanation:

Reflection across the line y = 2 doesn't change the x-coordinate.

The distance between the original point and the line y =2 is equal to the distance between the reflected point and that line. For point (6,9) the y-coordinate is 9, then distance is: 9 - 2 = 7 units . The y-coordinate of a point below the line that is at a distance of 7 units is: 2 - 7 = -5. Therefore, the reflected point is (6, -5)
