Solution: Rotation:
Consider a point (x,y).
Rotate the point by 180 degree counterclockwise such that the point (x,y) to (—x.-y).
Reflection:
Reflect the point (—x,—y) on x_{2} axis that is the vertical axis:
(-x,-y) changes to (x,-y)
Conclusion:
After transformation, (x,y) becomes (x,—y).
Then all the points (x,y) where y= —y or y= 0 satisfy the given transformation.
Therefore, all points (x,y) on the line y=0
