Lesson details
Key learning points
- The image is a reflection of the object.
- A line of reflection can be thought of as a mirror line.
- The line of reflection can be vertical.
- The line of reflection can be horizontal.
- The line of reflection can be diagonal.
Common misconception
Line segments connecting corresponding points on an image and object can intersect each other.
Corresponding point line segments after a reflection never intersect. If they do, then corresponding points have not been paired correctly.
Keywords
Line of reflection - The line of reflection is the line about which an object is reflected. The object and image are equidistant from the line of reflection.
Equidistant - Points A and B are equidistant from a third point C if the distance AC is equal to the distance BC.
