The correct Answer is:
To find the image \( B' \) of point \( B \) under reflection in the line \( AA' \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coordinates of points A and B - Point \( A \) has coordinates \( (3, 4) \). - Point \( B \) has coordinates \( (0, 2) \). ### Step 2: Determine the coordinates of point A' - The reflection of point \( A \) across the x-axis gives us point \( A' \). - The coordinates of \( A' \) can be found by changing the sign of the y-coordinate of \( A \). - Therefore, \( A' \) has coordinates \( (3, -4) \). ### Step 3: Find the equation of the line \( AA' \) - The slope of line \( AA' \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-4 - 4}{3 - 3} = \frac{-8}{0} \] - Since the slope is undefined, line \( AA' \) is a vertical line at \( x = 3 \). ### Step 4: Determine the coordinates of point B' - To find the reflection of point \( B \) across the line \( AA' \), we need to find the horizontal distance from point \( B \) to the line \( x = 3 \). - The x-coordinate of point \( B \) is \( 0 \), so the distance to the line \( x = 3 \) is \( 3 - 0 = 3 \). - To find the coordinates of \( B' \), we move 3 units to the right of the line \( x = 3 \): \[ B' = (3 + 3, y_B) = (6, 2) \] ### Final Answer - The coordinates of the image \( B' \) of point \( B \) under reflection in the line \( AA' \) are \( (6, 2) \). ---
