Reflection

The central line can also be called the mirror line or line of symmetry.


Example of a reflection.

<--- This is the central line!

Reflections, in simple words, are just a flip of an image over the lines. In a reflection, each image is the same distance from the central image.

One type of reflection is on a coordinate plane. When reflecting on the x-axis, the coordinate will stay the same. When reflecting on the y-axis, it will be the opposite.

Look to the image if you need better understanding.

__Hint__:** If you forget how to do this, just fold the **
 * paper in half along the line of reflection! **


 * When dealing with reflections, you also need to remember this: **
 * The mirror line could be the x-axis, y-axis, or a random drawn in **
 * line between the shapes. **
