Answer:

Explanation:

If a point (x, y) is reflected across a line, image of the point will be at the same distance from the line as the original point is.

In fact line of reflection works like a mirror.

In the figure attached,

Distance of point B from the line 'm' = 6 units

Therefore, distance of the image point B' from line 'm' = 6 units (on opposite side of the line of reflection)
