Similarly, reflection of the point (-2, 3) in the line y = -4 is (-2, 2 x (-4) – 3), i.e., (-2, -11)<br />

<strong>and</strong> reflection of the point (1, -1) in the line y= -3 is (1, 2 x (-3) – (-1)), i.e., (1, -5)<br />

Example10: Find the reflection of<br />

C(7, -4) in the<br />

ABC formed by the vertices A(5,2), B(4, 7) <strong>and</strong><br />

(i)<br />

(ii)<br />

(iii)<br />

x-axis,<br />

y-axis,<br />

Show that reflected triangle obtained in each case is congruent to the original<br />

triangle.<br />

Solution:<br />

(i)<br />

Reflection in x-axis<br />

A(5, 2) A‟(5, -2)<br />

B(4, 7) B‟(4, -7)<br />

C(7, -4) C‟(7, 4)<br />

A‟ B‟ C‟ is the reflection of ABC in x-axis<br />

(ii)<br />

Reflection in y-axis<br />

A(5, 2) A”(-5, 2)<br />

B(4, 7) B”(-4, 7)<br />

C(7, -4) C”(-7, -4)<br />

A” B” C” is the reflection of ABC in y-axis<br />

(iii) Here AB = =<br />

A‟ B‟ = =<br />
