Reflection is a fundamental transformation in coordinate geometry where a point or figure is mirrored across a line or point. Just like when you look in a mirror and see your image on the other side, mathematical reflection creates an image of a point on the opposite side of a reference line or poin
Key Concepts
A transformation where a point
A transformation where a point or figure is mirrored across a line (axis of reflection). The image appears on the opposite side of the axis at the sam
When a point P(x
When a point P(x,y) is reflected in the x-axis, its image is P'(x,-y). The x-coordinate remains the same while the y-coordinate changes sign. Formula:
When a point P(x
When a point P(x,y) is reflected in the y-axis, its image is P'(-x,y). The y-coordinate remains the same while the x-coordinate changes sign. Formula:
When a point P(x
When a point P(x,y) is reflected in the origin O(0,0), its image is P'(-x,-y). Both coordinates change signs. The origin acts as the midpoint of the l
Points that remain unchanged after reflection
Points that remain unchanged after reflection. A point is invariant with respect to a line if it lies on that line. For example, any point on the x-ax
Learning Objectives
- Understand the concept of reflection and its properties
