Say that line m is described by the function m(x) and line l by l(x). If m is a reflection of l in the x axis, then it follows that m(x) = -l(x). Try drawing a sketch to satisfy yourself of this. At the intersection(s) of l and m, m(x) = l(x). But we have also stated that m(x) = -l(x). This can only be true if the value of both functions (i.e. the y coordinate, s) is zero.

Is glide reflection equivalent to two reflections across two vertical lines?

No. Glide reflection is a combination of an ordinary reflection and a slide along the line of reflection. A two reflections across two vertical lines is a translation without any reflection or rotation.

How many lines of reflection does a triangle have?

A triangle can have up to three lines of reflection, depending on its type. An equilateral triangle has three lines of reflection, each passing through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. An isosceles triangle has one line of reflection that bisects the vertex angle and the base. A scalene triangle, with no sides or angles equal, has no lines of reflection.
