Answer
y = 0, is the equation of x-axis.
Hence, reflection in the line y = 0 means reflection in x-axis.
Reflection in x-axis is given by,
Rx (x, y) = (x, -y) ……….(1)
(i) Thus,
Rx (6, -7) = (6, 7).
Hence, co-ordinates of (6, -7) under reflection in the line y = 0 is (6, 7).
(ii) Thus,
Rx (-8, 4) = (-8, -4).
Hence, co-ordinates of (-8, 4) under reflection in the line y = 0 are (-8, -4).
(iii) Thus,
Rx (-3, -8) = (-3, 8).
Hence, co-ordinates of (-3, -8) under reflection in the line y = 0 are (-3, 8).
(iv) Thus,
Rx (7, 9) = (7, -9).
Hence, co-ordinates of (7, 9) under reflection in the line y = 0 are (7, -9).
(v) Thus,
Rx (0, -6) = (0, 6).
Hence, co-ordinates of (0, -6) under reflection in the line y = 0 are (0, 6).
