Let denote the angle between the positive x axis and the line y = mx.
The key observation is that the transformation Qm can be accomplished in
three steps: First rotate through -0 (so our line coincides with the x axis), then reflect in the x axis, and
finally rotate back through 0. In other words:

Since R-0, Qo, and Re are all linear, this (with Theorem 2.6.3) shows that Qm is linear and that its matrix
is the product of the matrices of Re, Qo, and R_e. If we write c = cos and s = sin for simplicity, then

Note that the formula for the matrix of Qm in Theorem 2.6.5 can be derived from the above formula
for the matrix of Pm. Using Figure 2.6.12, observe that Qm(x) = x+2[Pm (x) -x] so Qm(x) = 2Pm(x) — x.
Substituting the matrices for P(x) and 12 (x) gives the desired formula.
