Draw a perpendicular from a point to the line of reflection. Extend this [perpendicular] line so as to double its length. This point is the image of the original point. Repeat for all key points of the original shape and then join them together.

What is the line over which a figure is reflected?

It is the axis of reflection.


What is the reflection in Geometry?

Reflections are congruence transformations where the figure is reflected over the x-axis, y-axis, or over a line.


How do the coordinates of a point change when it is reflected over the x-axis?

Reflecting the the x-axis (line y=0) leaves the x-coordinate unchanged and negates the y-coordinate: (x, y) -> (x, -y) For example: (1, 2) -> (1, -2) (3, -4) -> (3, 4)


When reflecting something over the x Axis but there are points already there what can be done if there is a zero for the y coordinate?

What is the point on a coordinate plane where the line crosses over the x axis?

The point where a line crosses the x-axis is called the x-intercept.


How do you find the coordinates of a quadrilateral after reflecting it over the y axis?

If the coordinates of a point, before reflection, were (p, q) then after reflection, they will be (-p, q).


What is the slope of a line on a graph?

The slope of a line is the change of the y(vertical) axis over the x(horizontal) axis. It is the rate. In the formula y=ax+b the a is the slope.


What is the coordinates for a 2-fold rotation about the x-axis and the y-axis?

This question doesn't seem to make sense. First of all, does the 2-fold rotation mean once about the x-axis, then once about the y-axis?Secondly, rotations are around a point, but reflections are over a line (which is what an axis is)Please edit your question and resubmit.


How do you make and equation on a line in a graph?

The equation for the slope of a linear equation is Y=Mx+b, where m is the slope of the line, (Rise over run) and where B is the Y-intercept. (Where it crosses the Y axis)
