Explain the mirror distance

Given P (2, βˆ’2) and mirror y = 1. The reflected point is not drawn.
P is (2,βˆ’2). Its mirror is the horizontal line y=1. Give the reflected coordinate and explain how counting equal distances on the two sides of the mirror determines it. Also explain which coordinate stays unchanged.

Draw y=1 first. The image is beyond the mirror, not on it.
