Question:

Find the image of A(4, -3) under the transformation


R_x=2

Answer:

We're reflecting the point A(4.-3) on the line x=2. Let's take a look at what's happening:

A(4,-3) is 2 units right of the line. Therefore, AR(0,-3) is 2 units left of the line (The line acts as a "mirror", hence the reflection)

Therefore,

The image of A(4,-3) under such transformation is AR(0,-3)
