Answer:

Glide reflection

Explanation:

A glide reflection is a composition of a translation and a reflection across a line parallel to the direction of translation. A glide reflection requires a translation on a figure, which is then reflected over a line. This is a symmetry operation that requires a translation rule and a line to reflect over. A common example of this are footsteps in the sand.
