Examples, solutions, videos, worksheets, games and activities to help Geometry students learn about transformations on the coordinate plane. In this lesson, we will look at reflection.
What is Reflection in Geometry?
A reflection is an isometry, which means the original and image are congruent, that can be described as a "flip".
To perform a geometry reflection, a line of reflection is needed; the resulting orientation of the two figures are opposite. Corresponding parts of the figures are the same distance from the line of reflection.
Ordered pair rules reflect over the x-axis: (x, -y), y-axis: (-x, y), line y = x: (y, x).
