Reflections
What are Reflections?
A Reflection is a Transformation in which you reflect a shape over a line. It's similar to viewing it through a mirror. It can seem upside down or flipped over.
Examples
Here are a few examples of Reflections:
Example #1
In this example, we reflect the square over the line. It looks we only translated it, because the square is symmetric, but if we used a triangle, it would be easy to see how we reflected the square.
Example #2
In this example, we reflect the triangle over the line. Unlike the previous example, we can easily see how it is reflected, because of the point at the top.
Example #3
In this example, we reflect the square with the smiley face on it over the line. Since there is a smiley face, we can easily see how the reflection works and what the end result looks like.
