What is the formula of reflection?
A reflection of a point over the x -axis is shown. The rule for a reflection over the x -axis is (x,y)→(x,−y) .
What does it mean to find the image of a point?
side of a given line – the line of reflection. The given point P is “reflected” in the mirror and appears on the other side of the line an equal distance it. Drag the point P to see this. The reflection of the point P over the line is by convention named P’ (pronounced “P prime”) and is called the “image” of point P.
How do you find the mirror image of a point of a plane?
- Find the equation of the line passing through the given point and perpendicular to the given plane. Then find the coordinates of the point where this line intersects the plane.

Which line does not lie on the plane?
straight line
What is the difference between vector form and Cartesian form?
1 Answer. Cartesian coordinates are one way to write down vectors as a bunch of numbers. Cartesian coordinates are a way to write down a vector by expressing every vector as a linear combination of basis vectors.
How do you find the Cartesian form of a vector?
In this way, following the parallelogram rule for vector addition, each vector on a Cartesian plane can be expressed as the vector sum of its vector components: →A=→Ax+→Ay. A → = A → x + A → y .
How do you find the normal of a plane in Cartesian form?
The normal to the plane is given by the cross product n=(r−b)×(s−b).
Can you not lie on the same plane?
Skew lines are coplanar. Recall that skew lines are lines that do not lie on the same plane, never intersect, or parallel. This means that skew lines are never coplanar and instead are noncoplanar.
Do 3 vectors lie in the same plane?
Definition: Three vectors are said to be Coplanar if all three vectors lie on the same plane. For example, the vectors $(0, 1, 2), (0, 2, 3), (0, -1, 3) \in \mathbb{R}^3$ are coplanar as they all lie on the -plane.
Do the vectors lie on the same line?
No, saying that three vectors are linearly dependent means they lie in the same plane so it is still possible that they lie on the same line. If they were independent, then they could not be on the same line but knowing that they are dependent doesn’t tell you whether they lie on the same line or not.
