This JSXGraph example shows reflections of points across two __intersecting__ lines. Points ($P_1$ and $Q_1$) are mirrored successively on line $s$ and its parallel $t$, generating image points: $P_2$ and $Q_2$ are the mirror images from line reflection across line $s$. In turn, $P_3$ and $Q_3$ are the mirror images of reflecting these points across $t$. It can be observed that two reflections across two intersecting lines result in a __rotation__. To see this, move the defining points of the two lines $s$ and $t$.
