Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Relationship between rotation and reflection:

In reflection, the pre-image gets flips across the same line.

whereas in rotation, the pre-image get spin around a point.

Rotations can be represented as two reflections i.e. the composition of reflections over two intersecting lines is always equal to rotation of that object.

In rotation, the object will get turned, this is turning some degree either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Hence, rotation requires spinning and reflection requires flipping.
