In the parametric equations, set z 0 and solve for t. To try out this idea, pick out a single point and from this point imagine a. Now assume that the point is the reflection of the given point p about the given straight line ab see the figure 1 below then we have the following two conditions to be satisfied 1.
Since the hyperbolic plane is a plane with constant negative curvature, the fact that two parallel lines exist to a given line visually makes sense.
