Hint: A point like (1,5) reflects over this line to arrive at (5,1) Note how x and y swap places

hhanan:

so it would be the y = -x ?

jimthompson5910:

close but no

hhanan:

the y-axis

jimthompson5910:

Here's an example I found online. The diagram shows the upward opening parabola reflected over the line to get the sideways parabola. In other words, the dashed line is the line of reflection.

hhanan:

it won't let me graph the problem

jimthompson5910:

Any idea what the equation of that dashed line might be?

wassup my g's

hhanan:

I thought it was going to be on the y line

Two points on the dashed line are (1,1) and (2,2) What do you notice about the coordinates?

hhanan:

there on the x part?

jimthompson5910:

Do you agree that the coordinates for (1,1) are the same?

hhanan:

no?

jimthompson5910:

(1,1) means that x = 1 and y = 1 Any point is of the form (x,y)

hhanan:

ya then

jimthompson5910:

Any point on that dashed line has their x and y coordinates equal to one another. This means the equation of that dashed line is y = x
