Point A(–4, 2) is reflected over the line x = 3 to create the point A'. What are the coordinates of A'? A. (–4, –1) B. (–4, 8) C. (–1, 2) D. (10, 2)

It will be the same distance from the "mirror" (which is x=3), but on the other side...

OpenStudy (eboogie4):

Um I am a lil confused can you explain it more

The x-axis will move to the right three times in which you would reflect over that....

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You could draw it on a diagram, with an x and y axis. Draw the line x=3. Work out how far from the line point A is.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Then draw the reflected point, which will be the exact same distance from the mirror x=3, but on the other side.

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Since the x-axis is moved to the right three times that would mean it would land on the coordinate (3,0) basically you would find the distance between the given coordinate and (0,3) once you found the distance between you would then count the distance you found on the right side of the x-axis and you will find your point....
