Reflection: explained simply
Reflecting creates a matching image on the other side of a mirror line. Every point and its reflection are equally far from the line.
How to work it out
- Count the distance perpendicular to the mirror line and transfer it to the other side.
- A vertical mirror line swaps left and right. A horizontal mirror line swaps above and below.
An example, step by step
A square is in the second column to the left of a vertical mirror line.
- Stay in the same row.
- Count to the second column of squares on the right of the line.
- Shade that square. Both squares have the same distance from the line.
Your turn
Where is the reflection of a square directly above a horizontal mirror line?
Show the answer and method
Directly below it, in the same column and at the same distance from the line.
