ReflectionMatrix(v)
v
-
Vector; normal to the reflection subspace
The ReflectionMatrix(v) command returns the reflection Matrix, R, determined by the Vector v, where . Thus and for all w such that .
In two-dimensional space, the reflection subspace is a line through the origin. If the equation of this line is , or , then .
In three-dimensional space, the reflection subspace is a plane through the origin.
Reflect through the line y=-x:
