Answer
(i) We know that,
On reflection in x-axis, the sign of y-coordinate changes.
∴ (4, -3) on reflection in x-axis gives (4, 3).
Given,
(4, -3) on reflection in x-axis gives (-m, n)
∴ (-m, n) = (4, 3)
⇒ -m = 4 and n = 3
⇒ m = -4 and n = 3.
Hence, m = -4 and n = 3.
(ii) We know that,
On reflection in y-axis, the sign of x-coordinate changes.
∴ (m, 5) on reflection in y-axis gives (-m, 5).
Given,
(m, 5) on reflection in y-axis gives (-5, n - 2)
∴ (-m, 5) = (-5, n - 2)
⇒ -m = -5 and n - 2 = 5
⇒ m = 5 and n = 7.
Hence, m = 5 and n = 7.
(iii) We know that,
On reflection in origin, the sign of x-coordinate and y-coordinate changes.
∴ (-6, n + 2) on reflection in origin gives [6, -(n + 2)].
Given,
(-6, n + 2) on reflection in origin gives (m + 3, -4)
∴ [6, -(n + 2)] = (m + 3, -4)
⇒ 6 = m + 3 and -(n + 2) = -4
⇒ m = 6 - 3 and -n - 2 = -4
⇒ m = 3 and -n = -4 + 2
⇒ m = 3 and -n = -2
⇒ m = 3 nd n = 2.
Hence, m = 3 and n = 2.
