Suppose a coordinate A(1,1) in 1st quadrant, if you place a mirror in y-axis then the reflection of A will be in 2nd quadrant. as you have kept the mirror in y axis, the value of y-coordinate will not change, only the value of x will change. and that too with minus (-) sign. i.e, now the reflected coordinate...

Suppose a coordinate A(1,1) in 1st quadrant, if you place a mirror in y-axis then the reflection of A will be in 2nd quadrant. as you have kept the mirror in y axis, the value of y-coordinate will not change, only the value of x will change. and that too with minus (-) sign. i.e, now the reflected coordinate will (-1,1). Same with x-axis, if you keep mirror in x axis, the reflection will be in 4th quadrant. the value of x coordinate will remain same and the y coordinate value will be the minus of original value. i.e, (1,-1). read less

If you fall a light on a opaque object from a source, then we get the coordinate on the opposite axis with respect to the coordinates of the light source of light. Also, we get unique coordinates for a given coordinate of light source.

In Mathematics, a reflection (also spelled reflexion) is a mapping from a Euclidean space to itself that is an isometry with a hyperplane as a set of fixed points, this set is called the axis or plane of reflection.

In coordinate geometry reflection is given as below 1. Reflection about X-axis: In this all the points (x,y) go to the points (x,-y). i.e. the plane above X-axis gets mapped below X-axis & vice versa. Example: If P(1,3) is a point in 1st quadrant then under reflection about X-axis it goes to...

In coordinate geometry reflection is given as below 1. Reflection about X-axis: In this all the points (x,y) go to the points (x,-y). i.e. the plane above X-axis gets mapped below X-axis & vice versa. Example: If P(1,3) is a point in 1st quadrant then under reflection about X-axis it goes to P*(1,-3) in 4th quadrant. 2. Reflection about Y-axis: In this all the points (x,y) go to the points (-x,y). i.e. the plane on the right of Y-axis gets mapped to left of Y-axis. Example: If P(1,3) is a point in 1st quadrant then under reflection about Y-axis it goes to P*(-1,3) in 2nd quadrant. Similarly, we can define reflection about the lines y=x, y=-x. In General, we can define reflection about any line in plane. read less

What is algebraic geometry?
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the solution sets of polynomial equations. It uses tools from both algebra and geometry to study geometric objects, such as curves and surfaces, that can be defined by polynomial equations.
