Question
What is the line of reflection for 
and its image?
- x-axis
- y-axis
- y = x
- y = -x
Hint:
Measure distance between the points and then compare the distances to obtain the line of reflection.
The correct answer is: y-axis
* In Geometry, a reflection is known as a flip. A reflection is a mirror image of the shape. An image will reflect through a line, known as the line of reflection.
*It is a type of transformation that produces mirror image of the shape.
Given That:
>>>From graph:
The points of reflection for the vertices of a triangle A(2,3);B(6,1);C(7,5) are A'(-2,3);B'(-6,1);C'(-7,5).
>>>Therefore, the y-coordinates of a points remains same and the x-coordinates of a points changing it's sign with same magnitude.
>>>Let, (a, b) be a point in the plane then the point of reflection has (-a, b) when it is reflected on y-axis.
>>>Hence, we can say that the line of reflection is y-axis.
From the graph, the line of reflection is y-axis.
