Thank you We sneak reflections across the x and y

00:06

axes allah shmoop some people are just so vain of

00:11

course it's not just people We once came across a

00:13

dandelion that seems pretty full of itself And then there's

00:16

point six five spends all that everyday gazing into the

00:20

mirror in itself So why is sixfive so self absorbed

00:24

It's because of its reflection it's beautiful glorious reflection we

00:30

should get around all right well it's important to keep

00:32

in mind however that six fives reflection is different than

00:35

the point itself Just because it looks very similar doesn't

00:40

mean it's identical when reflecting across the y axis Such

00:45

a sixfive bathroom mirror there x coordinate becomes negative which

00:49

means that the reflection of six five across the y

00:52

axis his negative six five of course when six five

00:56

is admiring himself in the mirror on his bedroom floor

man he really was making something special It's as if

01:02

he's being reflected across the x axis in which case

01:05

his y coordinate becomes negative though this point would be

01:09

six negative five Well if you were to ask six

01:12

five oh he'd tell you that all those reflections are

01:15

just a dashing and debonair as the original guy Sounds 00:01:19.551 --> [endTime] like you could use a pep talk
