Axial Symmetry help

    I'm using the revisewise Maths book for revision and I've seen plenty of mistakes in it so when I'm confused about something I have no clue whether I'm not working it out right or whether it's another mistake.

    Can anyone help? I'm doing the Coordinate Geometry chapter and looking at Axial Symmetry and it's just confusing me. The diagram given doesn't make sense...

    If you don't have the revisewise book and could link me to somewhere that teaches Axial Symmetry then that would be great too :D

    look in your exam papers to see what could come up in regards to axial symmetry, central symmetry, rotation and translations and look in the back of it for the solutions if you have folens exam papers.

    Theyre easy!

    Axial Symmetry: (I'm making this up and can be quite confusing so sorry if I worsen things)
    This is a transformation in which a point on a co-ordinate plane is brought through the x or y axis and the same distance past
    It shall appear as Ax/Ay on a question.
    The point (3,4) under axial symmetry in the y axis will change the axis value (-3,4) This is because the x value has moved yet it stays the same height (y value)

    Simplest sample for a computer would be q ¦ p
    _ _
    d b
    A p under axial symmetry qould be a q
    Similarly, they may be brought through a horizontal line making them a d/b respectively
