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 (3,7)(3, -7) over the line y=xy = x, you swap the x- and y-coordinates of the point.

The coordinates of the reflected point will be: (7,3)(-7, 3)

Thus, the image of (3,7)(3, -7) after a reflection over the line y=xy = x is (7,3)(-7, 3).

  2. How do you reflect a point over the line y=xy = -x?
  3. What happens to the point (0,0)(0, 0) when reflected over any line?
  4. If you reflect (2,3)(2, 3) over y=xy = x and then reflect the result over the x-axis, what are the final coordinates?
  5. How would you find the reflection of a point over a line like y=2x+1y = 2x + 1?

Tip: When reflecting a point over the line y=xy = x, always swap the x- and y-coordinates.
