Question

Reflect the point (4,1) over the line x=-2. What would the image point be?

Answer 1

(4,-5) of you graph it, you will see that the point is only 3 units away from -2 so you do the same to reflect it and you’ll get -5.

Answer 2

(-8, 1)

Explanation:

x = -2 is a vertical line passing through (-2, 0).

The point (4, 1) is 6 units to the right of this line.

After reflecting the point over the line, the image point will be 6 units to the left of the line: (-8, 1).
