Practice Reflection in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
A rigid transformation that flips a figure over a line (the mirror line), producing a mirror image.
Like looking in a mirrorβleft and right are swapped, but size and shape are perfectly preserved.
Example 1
easyReflect the point P(3, -4) over the x-axis. What are the coordinates of the image?
Example 2
mediumReflect the point Q(-2, 5) over the line y = x. Find the image.
Example 3
easyReflect (5, 3) over the y-axis. What is the image?
Example 4
hardReflect the point R(4, 1) over the line y = 2. Find the image coordinates and explain your method.
