\begin{gathered} \\ b)\text{ a reflection is a transformation where each point in a shape appears at an equal distance opposite side of a given line} \\ \text{that why M and M' has the same distance from N and they are collinear.} \\ \text{The line of reflection (mirror line) is
\begin{gathered} c)\text{ we s}ee\text{ above that the distance MN and NM' are equal since point M' is a reflection from point M.} \\ \text{This also implies that distance PM and PM' are equal. Therefore, triangle PMM' is isosceles. } \\ \text{Additionally, this implies that } \\ \angle M\text{ =}\angle M^(\prime) \\ \text{that ism both angles measure the same value} \end{gathered}
