Question:

This exercise shows that the group of symmetries of a certain type of geometric figure may depend on the dimension of the space in which we consider the figure to lie. 

a. Describe all symmetries of a point in the real line R; that is, describe all isometries of R that leave one point fixed. 

b. Describe all symmetries (translations, reflections, etc.) of a point in the plane R2

c. Describe all symmetries of a line segment in R 

d. Describe all symmetries of a line segment in R2

e. Describe some symmetries of a line segment in R3 .
