Explanation:

as this was a straight reflection from left to right, the line of reflection is a vertical line in the middle between both shapes.

we see that the x coordinate of e.g. A is -5, and of its reflected image H the x coordinate is +3.

the middle coordinate is A plus half of the distance.

the x distance HA = 3 - -5 = 3 + 5 = 8

so, the middle x coordinate is -5 + 8/2 = -5 + 4 = -1

therefore, the line of reflection is

x = -1

you have to draw a vertical (up/down) line through the point on the x-axis x = -1.

please consider that the rejected shapes look exactly like each other, because they are symmetric shapes.

a translation (shift) would seemingly look the same.

but a reflection is like in a mirror.

A is actually transformed into H.

B is actually transformed into G.

C is actually transformed into F.

D is actually transformed into E.
