Solution

Finding the image of the given point reflected in the line Y=0:

The line y=0 is nothing but X-axis,

We know that the Image of a pointP(x,y) under the reflection in x-axis is P'(x,-y)

where only the sign of ordinate (y) changes and the sign of abscissa (x) remains the same.

Therefore, the image of point (3,-6) reflected in the line Y=0 is (3,6).
