what type of reflection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

erm. Theres more than one kind?? o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Thats all there is for the question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a reflection can also be seen as a function, which is a type of input/output machine. If you had a point at (2, 3) and wanted to reflect it using the rule (x,y) → (-x,y), you could place 2 in for x, and you would get -2 for your x-coordinate since the rule says to take the opposite of the x-coordinate. If we place 3 in for y and follow the rule, our output is 3 since the y-coordinate remains unchanged. Our new coordinate would be (-2, 3).
