Let's call the point of reflection O.
Take any point on the shape. Draw a line from that point to O and extend it beyond O for the same length (so that O is the midpoint of this line). The far end of the line is the image of the original point. Repeat for every point and you have the reflection of the original shape.
In actual fact, if the shape is a polygon, then you only need to reflect the vertices and join up their images. Well defined curves will form the same shape and it should not be too difficult to reproduce their reflection. However, with a random wriggly curve you have no choice but to map each point.

How do the motions of the sun and planets reflect the disk shape of the solar nebula?
The motions of the Sun and the planets reflect to disk shape of the solar nebula because they follow the same rotation as this disk shape. The rotation of the Sun and the planets is not a perfect circle.
Do planets reflect or radiate energy?
They reflect energy. I learned this the hard way. Losing a point on a test
How does Beowulf reflect Christianity?
Beowulf was written long before the Danes were Christians and does not reflect Christian values in any way shape or form.
What are the four basic forms in art?
The four basic forms in art are line, shape, form, and color. Line refers to the path traced by a moving point. Shape is a flat enclosed area. Form is a three-dimensional shape. Color is the visual property of objects that results from the light they emit, transmit, or reflect.
Do concave mirrors reflect sharp images?
It depends on the precise shape of the mirror. What's generally meant by "sharp image" is that the light rays focus at a single point. If the curvature of the mirror is variable, this doesn't happen.
Do mirror reflect light?
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
How do you reflect a shape with a given line?
Pick a vertex of the original shape.Draw a perpendicular to the given line.Double the length of this perpendicular. The end point is the image of the original vertex.Repeat for all other vertices of the original shape.Join the vertices of the image.
What is a zero dimentional shape?
A zero-dimensional shape is a point.
