You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -1 is a horizontal line ___ reflection is PERPENDICULAR to the line of reflection\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the horizontal component, x, of the point doesn't change\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the y component of the point is 5 units (4 - -1) ABOVE the line of reflection
\n" ); document.write( "___ so the reflected value will be 5 units BELOW the line of reflection\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so ___ Q' is (3, -6)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
