Successive Reflections in Mirror Lines
Find the image 𝐴′′𝐵′′𝐶′′ of the object ABC with coordinates A(-1,4), B(1,6),
C(1,2) when it is first reflected in the line 𝑥 = 3, and then reflected again in the
line 𝑥 = 8

Practice work: Ex 17B Page 941 Volume 2 Math Text

B(1,6) -> x = 3 -> B’(5,6)
Distance from object to line = 3 – 1 = 2 (horizontally)
B’(5,6)
