Few questions

I would like to ask for help on a few questions I don't quite understand.

When it says graph the reflection of triangle ABC in the line x = 5. I have a point at (3,6). For the answer I got (3,4). I was wondering did I relfect this correctly or did I mess up? Also there is one that says y = 0 how would I reflect something there?

Now another question I have is with rotation using a protractor. I have a point on (-9,0) I have to rotate this 180 degrees and it ended up at (-1,0) I don't think that is correct though. The squares are 3/16 of an inch if that matters.

Thanks for your help. (Itwasntme)
