Answer:

The image faces the same direction as the pre-image.

Explanation:

These are TRUE statements

*An image created by a reflection will always be congruent to its pre-image.

*Corresponding angles and segments are always congruent in a reflection of a figure.

*Reflections can only be constructed across horizontal or vertical lines.

*Reflections may change the size of a pre-image

Hope that helps!

The false statement is (c) The line of symmetry must be a vertical or horizontal line.

Which is not true about reflections

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The list of options

By definition

Reflection is a transformation that flips objects over a line, often referred to as the line of symmetry.

  • It does not preserve orientation
  • it flips across a line

If a point is originally to the left of the line of reflection, its image after reflection will be to the right.

If it was originally above the line, it will be below it,

Also, these points will be at the same distance from the line of reflection

So, the false statement is

(c) The line of symmetry must be a vertical or horizontal line.

Question

Which of the following is not true about reflections

A)Every point of the pre image is the same distance from a central line as it’s corresponding point in it image. B) it is a transformation that flips across a central line. C) The line of symmetry must be a vertical or horizontal line. D) orientation is not preserved.
