Calculating Reflection angle in a 2D plane.

becka221

Im trying to calculate the refelction angle of 2 points in a 2d plane, but not the same distance away from the reflection surface, and I'm drawing a blank.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Can you provide some more description of your problem?

If I know x and y, how can i calculate x1 and x2 or 0?
