Question
- write a set of instructions for how to reflect any point p across a given line ℓ.
Step1: Draw a perpendicular line
Draw a line from point $P$ that is perpendicular to the given line $\ell$. Let the intersection point of this perpendicular line and line $\ell$ be point $Q$.
Step2: Measure the distance
Measure the distance between point $P$ and point $Q$, denoted as $d = PQ$.
Step3: Find the reflected point
On the other - side of line $\ell$ along the perpendicular line, find a point $P'$ such that the distance between $Q$ and $P'$ is also $d$. Point $P'$ is the reflection of point $P$ across line $\ell$.
