Math Problem Statement
What is the image of left parenthesis, 3, comma, minus, 7, right parenthesis(3,−7) after a reflection over the line y, equals, xy=x?
Solution
To reflect the point over the line , you switch the coordinates of the point. This is because the reflection over interchanges the - and -coordinates of the point.
Given the point :
- After reflection over , the coordinates are reversed.
Thus, the image of after reflection over the line is .
