We assume $n = 2$. We identify elements $x = \binom { x _ { 1 } } { x _ { 2 } } \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 }$ with vectors $\vec { x } = x _ { 1 } \vec { i } + x _ { 2 } \vec { j }$ of the Euclidean plane relative to an orthonormal frame $(\Omega , \vec { i } , \vec { j })$. Let $O$ be the matrix of a reflection relative to a line passing through $\Omega$ and directed by a vector $\vec { v } _ { + }$. Determine a vector $x \in \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 }$ strictly positive and a sign diagonal matrix $S \in M _ { 2 } ( \mathbb { R } )$ such that $O x = S x$. Hint: begin by treating the case where $\vec { v } _ { + } \in \{ \vec { i } , \vec { j } \}$.
