It will, unless the shape is symmetrical and the axis of reflection is parallel to the axis of symmetry.

Does a reflection change the orientation?

In general, yes.


Why do you use reflection in maths?

When you're dealing with mirrors, changing a shape from one orientation to another.


What is a reflection as a math term?

A reflection is when a shape flips completely over. The coordinates of the shape will opposite as well. The reflection can change depending what you are flipping it over.


What is a mathematical displacement?

It is sliding a shape in a plane (or higher dimensions). It involves a change in position without a change its shape or orientation.


What transformation reverses orientation?

reflection


How do you do translation math?

Translation refers to moving a shape from one location (on a coordinate grid) to another such that the size and orientation of the shape does not change.


What is translation in geometry?

A translation is when a shape slides. There are three other transformations other than this: * rotation * dilation * reflection. During translation, an object changes its position but not orientation.


How can the orientation of the image compare with the orientation of the preimage?

The relationship between the orientation of the image and preimage depends on whether the transformation is a reflection or a rotation (or both).


How do you write a paper Reflexivity?

Journal Entry: Orientation Reflection


What does congruence transformations mean?

These are transformations that do not change the shape or size, only its location (translation) or orientation (rotation).


Identify the transformation where the image has the opposite orientation as the preimage?

i think its glide reflection and reflection but if im wrong then i dont freakin know.


Do rotations preserve or change the orientation of the figure?

They change the orientation.
