Exploring Reflections in Geometry

What is the first step in reflecting a shape across an axis?

• Draw the mirror line

• Label the vertices

• Count the squares

• Join the vertices

If point A is 3 spaces away from the y-axis, where will its reflection A' be?

• 3 spaces on the same side

• 5 spaces on the opposite side

• 3 spaces on the opposite side

• 2 spaces on the same side

What does the symbol with three lines represent?

• Similar

• Equal
