Question

Two mirrors are placed on the positive x- and y-axis as shown in the figure above. At the origin the mirrors meet and make an angle of 90°. An object is placed in the first quadrant at a position (x, y) = (2, 5.3). Three images of this object form - one in each of the remaining three quadrants. What are the coordinates of these images?

1.Quadrant II (negative x values and positive y values): x=

2. y=

3.Quadrant III (negative x values and negative y values): x=

4. y=

5. Quadrant IV (positive x values and neagtive y values): x=

6. y=

Explanation / Answer

1) Quadrant II (negative x values and positive y values):

x = -x = -2

2) y = y = 4.6

3) Quadrant III (negative x values and negative y values):

x = -x = -2

4) y = -y = -5.3

5) Quadrant IV (positive x values and negative y values):

x = x = 2

6) y = -y = -5.3
