Analytic Geometry

Hey,

1. Let P = (5,1), and let Q be the reflection of P over the line y =1/2x + 2. Find the coordinates of Q.

2. The equation of the line passing through (1,8) and (5,6) can be expressed in the
x/a + y/b = 1.
Find a.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you want an explanation of how to do these?
