    Please help....so confused

    Here's the question:
    When do a point and its image coincide under a reflection?



    Is this even possible? Can it only happen on the x or y axis? I'm not really sure what it means! Please help!! i'm absolutely awful w/math!

    What if the point happened to LIE on the line of reflection?
