Question
reflect the figure over the line x = 5. plot all of the points of the reflected figure. you may click a plotted point to delete it.
Step1: Recall reflection formula
For a point $(x,y)$ reflected over the vertical line $x = a$, the new $x$-coordinate is $2a - x$ and the $y$-coordinate remains the same. Here $a = 5$.
Step2: Let's assume a point $(x_0,y_0)$ on the original figure
The reflected point $(x_1,y_1)$ has $x_1=2\times5 - x_0=10 - x_0$ and $y_1 = y_0$.
Step3: Apply to all points of the figure
For each vertex of the original figure, calculate the new $x$-coordinate using the formula $x'=10 - x$ (where $x$ is the original $x$-coordinate) and keep the $y$-coordinate the same. Then plot these new - points to get the reflected figure.
