A tool that performs a geometric transformation, specifically mirroring a point, line, or shape across the horizontal axis in a coordinate plane. This transformation changes the sign of the y-coordinate while leaving the x-coordinate unchanged. For instance, the point (2, 3) when subjected to this transformation becomes (2, -3).
Such a utility offers a rapid and precise method for visualizing and calculating reflections, crucial in fields like computer graphics, game development, and mathematics. Its development simplifies understanding transformations, facilitating problem-solving and design processes. It provides an accessible means for students and professionals to explore the effects of geometric operations without manual calculation.
