~ Transformation- Reflection ~

Reflection is compared to a mirror image, because when you look at yourself in the mirror you are looking at your own reflection, and when reflected a figure you are just flipping the figure to your left, right, down and up. You could reflect an image over the x- axis lets said without knowing the exact rule , because you could use the quadrants, and the little boxes. The original figure an its reflection is exactly equal distance from the line of symmetry, because you are just flipping the figure you are not increasing or decreasing the figure. For example, when you look at yourself in the mirror does it make you thinner or thicker than you are? No it does not, its just like a figure being reflected you are making it exact shape but on a different quadrants. I think that we can determine the line of symmetry if we are given the image and the points of the original figure, because you could look at the coordinates that are given and determine in which quadrants its in. For example, the original point of A, -1,5 B, 4,6 C, -4,2 D 2,1. now with the shape you could determine what quadrants the prime figure is at and its going to be in quadrants 3 and 4. When looking at a figure you could also determine which one of the two is the original figure. You could determine this because the letters are different. The original is figures letter don't have this symbol ( ' ).
