Question

Formally Defining Reflections

A reflection is a transformation such that:
•The line of reflection is the perpendicular (bisector) of the line segment connecting a point in the pre-image with its corresponding image.
This tells us that:
Line segment BB' is perpendicular
to the line of reflection.
Point L is the (Bisector)
of line segment BB'.
Point L is equidistant from B and B'.
Line segments BB' and AA' are (Parallel)

a) Congruent
b) Collinear
c) Parallel
d) Perpendicular

Answer 1

A reflection is a transformation where the line of reflection is perpendicular to the line segment connecting a point in the pre-image with its corresponding image. This results in line segments BB' and AA' being parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection is a transformation such that:

• The line of reflection is the perpendicular (bisector) of the line segment connecting a point in the pre-image with its corresponding image.

This tells us that:

• Line segment BB' is perpendicular to the line of reflection.
• Point L is the bisector of line segment BB'.
• Point L is equidistant from B and B'.
• Line segments BB' and AA' are parallel.
