Reflections in a line (Matrices)- Please Help
Odette:
Ok but ah the points dont satisfy the equation... or isnt that the answer?
And how did -r/s= 464/323?
Odette:
Please someone help me :( :'(
Odette:
Oh nevermind I figured it out... I am so stupid sometimes lol... it was so obvious >.<
Mao:
the wording here is not exactly pedantic:

if you find the mid-point of those two points, you have the point where the "mirror" is, a point on your line of reflection.
so the midpoints would be:
which means:
simplifying this to:
which means, one of the possible solutions is:
and
