Reflect a point about a plane using matrix transformation
Given the plane equation a x + b y + c z = d and an arbitrary point in 3D space ( i , j , k ), how do I find a homogenous transformation matrix that is used to reflect this point about the plane?

Let n = ( a , b , c ), and v = n n be the plane's normal unit vector, x = ( i , j , k ) a given vector; then we need to subtract its projection onto v twice to reflect it in the plane: x 2 v ( x v ) coordinates: ( I 2 v v T ) x. The transformation matrix ( I 2 v v T ) is called the Householder matrix.
