Given

Equation of line

a) y = x - 4

b) y = 8

Find

Equation of the image when the reflection line is the y - axis

Step-by-step explanation

a) the given line is y = x - 4

here the slope of line is 1 and y - intercept is (-4 , 0) and x intercept is (4,0)

the image of the line under reflection in y - axis will be

y = f(-x)

y = -x-4

here the slope of line is -1 , y - intercept (-4 , 0) and x - intercept is (-4 , 0)

b) the given line y = 8

here slope = 0

the image of the line under reflection in y - axis will be y = 8

Final Answer

a) The equation of image is y = - x - 4

b) The equation of image is y = 8
