Question

Find the image of:

(i) (-2, 3, 4) in the yz-plane

(ii) (-5, 4, -3) in the xz-plane

(iii) (5, 2, -7) in the xy-plane

(iv) (-5, 0, 3) in the xz-plane

(v) (-4, 0, 0) in the xy-plane

Answer 1

(i) (-2, 3, 4)

Since we need to find its image in yz-plane, a sign of its x-coordinate will change

So, Image of point (-2, 3, 4) is (2, 3, 4)

(ii) (-5, 4, -3)

Since we need to find its image in xz-plane, sign of its y-coordinate will change

So, Image of point (-5, 4, -3) is (-5, -4, -3)

(iii) (5, 2, -7)

Since we need to find its image in xy-plane, a sign of its z-coordinate will change

So, Image of point (5, 2, -7) is (5, 2, 7)

(iv) (-5, 0, 3)

Since we need to find its image in xz-plane, sign of its y-coordinate will change

So, Image of point (-5, 0, 3) is (-5, 0, 3)

(v) (-4, 0, 0)

Since we need to find its image in xy-plane, sign of its z-coordinate will change

So, Image of point (-4, 0, 0) is (-4, 0, 0)
