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!
