In the xy plane line m is the reflection of line l across the x axis if the intersection of lines l and m is point r s why does s equal 0?

Say that line m is described by the function m(x) and line l by l(x). If m is a reflection of l in the x axis, then it follows that m(x) = -l(x). Try drawing a sketch to satisfy yourself of this. At the intersection(s) of l and m, m(x) = l(x). But we have also stated that m(x) = -l(x). This can only be true if the value of both functions (i.e. the y coordinate, s) is zero.

if two lines intersect their intersection is?
Perpendicular if they form right angles if not they form vertical opposite equal angles
What is the intersection of the horizontal and vertical number lines?
Orgin is the intersection of horizontal and vertical number lines.
What is the point of intersection between two lines called?
The point of intersection.
What is the intersection of two lines?
point
What is the significance of the intersection point of two lines?
The coordinates of the point of intersection must satisfy the equations of both lines. So these coordinates represent the simultaneous solution to the two equations that that represent the lines.
What is a opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines?
If the two lines form an X then each angle directly across from another is congruent or equal to that angle.
Is glide reflection equivalent to two reflections across two vertical lines?
No. Glide reflection is a combination of an ordinary reflection and a slide along the line of reflection. A two reflections across two vertical lines is a translation without any reflection or rotation.
What is the reflection of point (-16) across the lines yx?
It is (6, -1).
What is the intersection of 2 lines?
When two straight lines intersect they form 360 degees with opposite angles being equal.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
What lines are lines that form acute or obtuse angles at the point of intersection?
Vertical equal opposite angles are formed when lines intersect each other.
What are lines are lines that form acute or obtuse angles at the point of intersection?
Vertical equal opposite angles are formed when lines intersect each other.
What are the solid while lines stretching across one or more lanes in the same direction indicating the proper place to come to a stop at an intersection.?
stop lines
Are solid while lines stretching across one or more lanes in the same direction indicating the proper place to come to a stop at intersection?
stop lines
if two lines intersect their intersection is?
Perpendicular if they form right angles if not they form vertical opposite equal angles
What is the opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines?
They are equal opposite vertical angles and if the lines are perpendicular to each other then 90 degree angles are formed.
What is the intersection of the horizontal and vertical number lines?
Orgin is the intersection of horizontal and vertical number lines.
