Draw a perpendicular from a point to the line of reflection. Extend this [perpendicular] line so as to double its length. This point is the image of the original point. Repeat for all key points of the original shape and then join them together.

What does reflecting a shape mean?

Reflecting a shape means creating a mirror image of the original shape by flipping it over a line called the reflection axis. This results in an image that is an exact copy of the original, but in the opposite direction. The reflection axis serves as the line of symmetry between the original shape and its reflection.


What is the line over which a figure is reflected?

It is the axis of reflection.


What is the reflection in Geometry?

Reflections are congruence transformations where the figure is reflected over the x-axis, y-axis, or over a line.


How do you reflect over the x axis when a point is over the x axis already?

Reflecting a point over the x-axis involves changing the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same. If a point is already located over the x-axis, its y-coordinate is positive. When reflecting this point over the x-axis, the positive y-coordinate becomes negative, resulting in the point being located below the x-axis.


What is the point on a coordinate plane where the line crosses over the x axis?

The point where a line crosses the x-axis is called the x-intercept.

How do the coordinates of a point change when it is reflected over the x-axis?

Reflecting the the x-axis (line y=0) leaves the x-coordinate unchanged and negates the y-coordinate: (x, y) -> (x, -y) For example: (1, 2) -> (1, -2) (3, -4) -> (3, 4)


Rule for 180 degree clockwise rotation?

To rotate a figure 180 degrees clockwise, you can achieve this by first reflecting the figure over the y-axis and then reflecting it over the x-axis. This double reflection effectively rotates the figure 180 degrees clockwise around the origin.


When reflecting something over the x Axis but there are points already there what can be done if there is a zero for the y coordinate?

Point with y = 0 do not move.


What is the slope of a line on a graph?

The slope of a line is the change of the y(vertical) axis over the x(horizontal) axis. It is the rate. In the formula y=ax+b the a is the slope.


How do you find the coordinates of a quadrilateral after reflecting it over the y axis?

If the coordinates of a point, before reflection, were (p, q) then after reflection, they will be (-p, q).


If you wanted to make a line graph to graph the motion of an object what would you put what on the horizontal axis and what would you put on the vertical axis?

You put time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.
