Assertion (A) : The point (-2, 8) is invariant under reflection in line x = -2

Reason (R) : If a point has its x-coordinate 0, it is invariant under reflection in both axes.

  1. Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.

  2. Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

  3. A is true, but R is false.

  4. Both A and R are true.

Answer

Point (-2, 8) lies on the line x = -2.

The point which lies on a line is invariant under reflection in the same line.

∴ (-2, 8) is invariant under reflection in line x = -2.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

If a point has x-coordinate equal to 0 it means it lies on y-axis.

∴ It will be invariant under reflection in y-axis.

∴ Reason (R) is false.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
