What is the reflection (image) of the point in the plane ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C.
- Step 1: The formula for the reflection of in the plane is .
- Step 2: Compute the ratio: .
- Step 3: Compute coordinates: ; ; . The image point is .
Answer
.
Why not the others: is the foot of the perpendicular, not the reflection; uses positive sign ; makes an arithmetic error in coordinates.
