Question

What type of symmetry is shown in this picture (point, line, or rotational)? Explain your answer and identify the line of symmetry or the point of rotation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The figure on the right is obtained by reflecting the figure on the left across the y-axis.

Answer 2

symmetry about the y-axis is shown

Explanation:

Points on the right of the line of symmetry (x=0, the y-axis) are the same distance from that line as the corresponding points on the left. (That is what makes it a line of symmetry.)

There is no point of rotation that will map one figure to the other after rotation, hence no point or rotational symmetry.
