Image Generation via Reflection

To reflect a point A through a line m: draw a perpendicular line n from A to m, intersecting at B; measure the distance AB and draw a circle with center B and radius AB, which will intersect the line at the original point A and a new reflected point C.

Reflect a Point through a Line

Concept:
1) Draw a perpendicular to m going through A. (See the "perpendicular through a point" construction.)
Call this perpendicular "n". Call the intersection of m with n "B".
2) Measure AB.
Draw a circle around B with radius AB.
It intersects with line AB at A (the preimage) and a new point, C (the image)
