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 refelection in both axes.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Answer
Reflection in the line x = -2 means the mirror line passes through x = -2. Any point lying on that line will remain unchanged after reflection.
Therefore, after reflection the point remains (-2, 8).
Assertion (A) is True.
Let us consider a point (0, y):
On reflection in y-axis, the sign of x-coordinate changes,
(0, y) ⇒ (0, y)
On reflection in x-axis, the sign of y-coordinate changes,
(0, y) ⇒ (0, -y).
So it is not invariant under both axes.
Reason (R) is false.
A is true, R is false.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
