How do you graph a line symmetric to another line?
-------------
1st: You need to identify an axis for the symmetry.
2nd: For two points of the given line, draw a line
segment perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and
an equal distance beyond it. Put a point at the
end of that segment.
3rd: Draw a line thru those two end points.
-----
Result: The resulting line will be symmetric
to the given line with repect to the axis of
symmetry.
