The point,
Calculation:
In order to find the coordinates of the point Q in the second quadrant, such that the y -axis is perpendicular bisector of PQ , find a point in the second quadrant that is at the same horizontal distance to the left of the y -axis as the point P on the right of it it.
Note that the point P is a units to the right side of the y -axis, so the point Q must be a units to the left side of the y -axis.
Since the y -axis is perpendicular bisector of the segment PQ , the y -coordinate of the points will remain same.
Thus, the coordinates of the point Q are
