Question

EASY POINTS:

this has become a very popular question so i'm re posting it and whoever can solve it first gets 50 points (or higher)

part 1: explain what reflections are in your own words

part 2: solve - p'(5, -4) for the glide reflection where the translation is (x,y) -> (x - 2, y - 3) and the line of reflection is y = -x

Answer 1

Part 1:

Reflection is a type of transformation that flips a shape in a mirror line (also called a line of reflection) so that each point is the same distance from the mirror line as its reflected point. E.g. Triangle P has been reflected in the line x = 4 x=4 x=4 to give Triangle Q.

Part 2:

1,10) is the glide reflection of point A(-5,-4).
