Exercise 7 Page 577

To find the coordinates of a point reflected across a line, we need to follow a few steps.

  • Step Plot the preimage point and the line of reflection on the coordinate plane.
  • Step Draw a line that is perpendicular to the given line of reflection and passes through the preimage point.
  • Step Measure the distance from the preimage point to the line. Then locate the reflected image the same distance from line the given line on the opposite side.
Let's do it!
