Question

If V(-5, -2) is

reflected in the line
y = -6, what are
the
coordinates
of V?

Answer 1

(-5, - 10 )

Explanation:

y = - 6 is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis passing through all points with a y- coordinate of - 6

under a reflection in this line the x- coordinate of the point V is the same

V (- 5, - 2 ) with y- coordinate - 2 is 4 units above y = - 6

the reflected point will therefore be 4 units below y = - 6, that is - 10 , then

V (- 5, - 2 ) → V' (- 5, - 10 )
