Let ll be a line in the Euclidean plane R2\mathbf{R}^{2} and PP a point on ll. Denote by ρ\rho the reflection in ll and by τ\tau the rotation through an angle α\alpha about PP. Describe, in terms of l,Pl, P, and α\alpha, a line fixed by the composition τρ\tau \rho and show that τρ\tau \rho is a reflection.
