Goals Identify and use reflections in a plane.

Reflection A reflection in line m is a transformation that maps every point P in the plane to point P’ so the following properties are true: m 1. If P is not on m, then m is the perpendicular bisector of PP’. 2. If P is on m, then P = P’. (The point is its own reflection.) P P’ P and P’ are equidistant from line m.

Reflection Mappings In the x-axis: (x, y) (x, -y)
In the y-axis: (x, y) (-x, y) In y = x: (x, y) (y, x) We say: Reflect in the x-axis, reflect over the x-axis, reflect on the x-axis, reflect across the x-axis. They mean the same thing. Tuesday, Dec 1, 1:58 PM 7.2 Reflections

Reflect RST in y-axis. Determine coordinates. Mapping Formula:
(x, y) (-x, y) R(0, 4) R’(0, 4) S(-4, 1) S’(4, 1) T(-1, -2) T’(1, -2) R’(0, 4) R (0, 4) S (-4, 1) S’(4, 1) T T’(1, -2) (-1, -2) Tuesday, Dec 1, 1:58 PM 7.2 Reflections

Other Reflections Any line can be used as the line of reflection.
Mapping formulas can be found, but for now counting is easier. Tuesday, Dec 1, 1:58 PM 7.2 Reflections

Symmetry A similarity of form or arrangement on either side of a dividing line; correspondence of opposite parts in size, shape and position. Balance or beauty of form resulting from such correspondence. A figure that has line symmetry can be mapped onto itself. Tuesday, Dec 1, 1:58 PM 7.2 Reflections
