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.
A(n) point is described as a location in space , and it has no size or shape.

Point
To reflect a point over the line ( y = x ), you swap the coordinates of the point. For example, if the original point is ( (a, b) ), its reflection over ( y = x ) will be ( (b, a) ). This process applies to any shape or set of points by reflecting each point individually.

Functions
A zero-dimensional shape is a point.
In mathematical terms, "reflect" refers to the process of flipping a shape or figure over a specific line, known as the line of reflection, to create a mirror image. This transformation alters the orientation of the figure while maintaining its size and shape. In coordinate geometry, reflecting a point across a line involves changing its coordinates based on the line's equation. For example, reflecting a point across the x-axis changes its y-coordinate to its negative.
Beowulf was written long before the Danes were Christians and does not reflect Christian values in any way shape or form.
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.
A parabolic mirror prevents spherical aberration by focusing incoming light rays to a single point, rather than spreading them out. This is achieved because the shape of the mirror is designed to reflect light in a way that corrects for the distortion caused by a spherical shape.

Rotation. Though it does not have to be around a point in the shape: the centre of rotation can be outside the shape.
If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.
