What are reflections?What are reflections?
What are the characteristics of What are the characteristics of a reflection?a reflection?
A reflection is a A reflection is a mirror imagemirror image of the original shape.of the original shape.
This means it looks the same, This means it looks the same, except that it is except that it is flippedflipped!!
A reflected figure is A reflected figure is congruentcongruent to its original to its original shape.shape.
How do we reflect a figure over How do we reflect a figure over the y-axis?the y-axis?
4 units away
So, A ’ shouldBe 4 units awayFrom the y-axis! 4 units away
Plot ΔABC:A(-4, 4)B(-2, 4)C(-4, 1)
What are the CoordinatesOf ΔA ’B ’C ’?
A ’(4, 4)
B ’(2, 4)
C ’(4, 1)
Observations:
1. Both triangles are congruent
2. The reflected figure is the mirror image of the original.
3. The reflected figure flippedflipped over to the right.
4. The x coordinate switch to the opposite value.

What do we know about What do we know about reflections so far?reflections so far?
The figures are CONGRUENT. This means The figures are CONGRUENT. This means they are the same size and shape.they are the same size and shape.
Distance from the line of reflection stays Distance from the line of reflection stays the same. For example, if point A is 2 the same. For example, if point A is 2 units from the reflection line, then Aunits from the reflection line, then A’’ is is also 2 units from that line. It is only going also 2 units from that line. It is only going in the opposite direction.in the opposite direction.
The reflected figure is the The reflected figure is the mirror imagemirror image of the original shape. It is only of the original shape. It is only flippedflipped..
Reflecting over the line Reflecting over the line y=xy=x
First, what is the line y=x and how do we find it?!First, what is the line y=x and how do we find it?!1.1. In order to graph a line, we need coordinate In order to graph a line, we need coordinate
points. Which means we need a t-chart.points. Which means we need a t-chart.Pick numbers to go in for your x values.Pick numbers to go in for your x values.
2. Then solve for the y values by substituting x 2. Then solve for the y values by substituting x into your equation y =x.into your equation y =x.
