Reflection Objectives: D GradeReflect shapes in lines such as x = - 2 or y = 1 Describe reflections fully Identify reflection symmetry in 3-D solids Prior knowledge: Equations of lines and how to draw them Reflect a shape in a mirror line Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes Sketch 3-D shapes and draw 3-D shapes on isometric paper C GradeReflect shapes in lines such as y = x or y = - x Describe reflections fully
y-axis x-axis Reflection Identify the equations of these lines y = x y = 7 y = 0 x = 3 x = - 8 y = x + 3 y = - x y = - x - 3
Reflection Reflection principles: Reflect each point of a shape separately The reflected point is the same distance from the line of reflection, the other side of the line of reflection The reflected point is plotted on a line from the object that is perpendicular to the line of reflection The original shape is the object the reflected shape is the image Line of reflection object A B C D x A’ x B’ x C’ x D’ Note that the image point has the same letter as the object point, but it has a ’ to show it is the image
Reflection This works for all reflection, whichever direction the line of reflection lies. Line of reflection object A B C D x A’ x B’ x C’ x D’ Note:this is not necessarily the orientation of the image that most people expect at first.
y-axis x-axis Reflection This is now applied to objects on a coordinate grid where the line of reflection is defined by an equation Reflect the object ABCD in the y-axis and label it A’B’C’D’ The squares help because all the lines are perpendicular count the squares A B C D x A’ 6 squares x 3 squares B’ C’ 2 squares x x D’ Remember the y-axis is also the line x = 0 Remember the x-axis is also the line y = 0 x = 0 y = 0
