Single Transformations of 2-D shapes reflection


Reflection:  When a shape is reflected in a mirror we see a reflection image.  The line segment that joins a point to its image is perpendicular to the line of reflection.  A shape and its image have opposite orientations, or face opposite ways.  A reflection is sometimes called a flip because when a shape is reflected, it is flipped over.





Practice drawing reflections on a piece of paper.  Take a picture of your drawings and email them to your teacher!
