Why do you make the symmetry point of B about X and connect it with A to work out that the linear equation is the equation of incident light? What is the principle?
Since the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, the problem is equivalent to finding a point C on the X axis, so that the acute angles formed by straight lines AC and BC are equal to the X axis.

At this time, there are two ways to do it. The first method is to use the relationship of slope, let C(c, 0), and according to kAC=-kBC, represent kAC and kBC with algebraic expression containing C, and get an equation to solve C. 。

The second method is the answer. Let the symmetry point of B about the X-axis be D, the intersection of AD and X-axis be C, and the left and right sides of C are E and F at will on the X-axis, then according to the symmetry relation, we can get ∠BCE=∠DCE=∠ACF. And ∠BCE is the acute angle formed by BC and X axis, ∞.
