Find the mirror image of (7, 25) about x - axis.
Answers
Answer:
The mirror image is (7, -25)
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the cartesian plane-
- In the first quadrant, both the x-axis and y-axis are positive.
- In the second quadrant, the x-axis is negative but the y-axis is positive.
- In the third quadrant, both the x-axis and y-axis are negative.
- In the fourth quadrant, the x-axis is positve, but the y-axis is negative.
Mirror image with respect to x-axis: In this case, the image of P (x,y) becomes P (x, -y). Thus, to find the image of any point along the x-axis, we keep the x-coordinate same, and a sign of y-coordinate gets changed. Any point on the mirror remains the same.
For example- (2,3) becomes (2,-3), (4,-3) becomes (4,3)
Mirror image with respect to y-axis: In this case, the image of P (x,y) becomes P (-x,y). Thus, to find the image of any point with respect to the y-axis, we keep the y-coordinate same, and a sign of x-coordinate gets changed.
For example- (2,3) becomes (-2,3), (-4,3) becomes (4,3)
Thus, the mirror image for (7, 25) with respect to the x-axis is (7, -25)
