The point p(-3,4) is reflected in the line x +2=0. find the coordinate of the image x

(- 1, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x + 2 = 0 can be expressed as

x + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2

This is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis and passing through all points with an x- coordinate of - 2

Thus (- 3, 4 ) is 1 unit to the left of - 2

Under a reflection in the line x = - 2

The x- coordinate will be the same distance from x = - 2 but on the other side while the y- coordinate remains unchanged.

Thus

(- 3, 4 ) → (- 1, 4 )
