The image of the line \( l: y=2x \) after reflection along the line \( L: y=2x+6 \) is \( r: y=2x+12 \).

Solución

We are given the line \[ l: y=2x \] and the reflection line \[ L: y=2x+6. \] Since both lines have the same slope, they are parallel. In the case of parallel lines, the reflection of a line across another line will be a line with the same slope and with its vertical displacement “symmetrical” relative to the mirror line. 1. Write the image of \(l\) as a line with the same slope: \[ r: y=2x+b, \] where \(b\) is the new \(y\)-intercept to be determined. 2. The distance between two parallel lines of the form \[ y=2x+C \] and \[ y=2x+D \] is given by \[ \frac{|C-D|}{\sqrt{1+2^2}}=\frac{|C-D|}{\sqrt{5}}. \] 3. Compute the distance between \(l\) and \(L\). Their intercepts are \(0\) (for \(l\)) and \(6\) (for \(L\)), hence \[ d = \frac{|6-0|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}. \] 4. Since \(L\) is the mirror, the distance from \(L\) to the image \(r\) must also be \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\). So we require \[ \frac{|b-6|}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}. \] Cancel \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\) on both sides: \[ |b-6|=6. \] 5. This equation gives two possibilities: - \(b-6=6\) which yields \(b=12\). - \(b-6=-6\) which gives \(b=0\). However, \(b=0\) corresponds to the original line \(l\) (which we are reflecting), so we select the other value that gives the new line on the opposite side of \(L\). 6. Thus, the image of the line \(l\) after reflection along \(L\) is: \[ r: y=2x+12. \]

To find the image of the line \( l: y=2 x \) after reflection along the line \( L: y=2 x+6 \), we start by recognizing that the two lines \( l \) and \( L \) are parallel since they have the same slope of 2. This means the reflection will preserve the parallelism, but shift the line vertically. 1. The distance vertically from the line \( L \) to \( l \) is constant and can be calculated using a point on line \( l \) (e.g., (0,0)), and finding its distance to \( L \). The intersection point can be found by solving \( 2x + 6 = 2x \), showing that there is no intersection but you can calculate why they don't intersect. 2. To find the image, you translate line \( l \) upwards by the same distance to the line \( L \) reflecting it meaning you compute the distance and create a new line with the same slope. The image line will have the form \( y=2x + d \). Perform the calculations to find \( d \) based on the distance calculated. In summary, first place points, check distances, and move upward!
