The reflection of the point (6, -3) on the line \(y = 2\) is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (6, 7)
The reflection of a point in a horizontal line lies on the same vertical line, as far beyond the mirror line as the point is before it. So the \(x\)-coordinate stays 6, and only the \(y\)-coordinate changes.
Distance of (6, −3) from the line \(y=2\): \(2-(-3)=5\) units below it
The image is 5 units above the line: \(y=2+5=7\)
The image is (6, 7)
