For the reflection of a point about the line y=5, the x value stays the same, so the x value of the reflected point is 3.
The y value moves from one side of the line y=5 to the opposite side, at the same distance. The y value of the given point, 4, is 1 unit below the line y=5; it moves to 1 unit above the line y=5, making the new y value 6.
Answer: the reflected point is (3,6).
