Question
- a reflection over which line will not carry the square onto itself? * x - axis y - axis x=-1 y = x
Step1: Recall reflection property of square
A square has multiple lines of symmetry. Lines of symmetry carry a shape onto itself.
Step2: Analyze x - axis
Reflection over the x - axis for a square centered at the origin will map the square onto itself as it is symmetric about the x - axis.
Step3: Analyze y - axis
Reflection over the y - axis for a square centered at the origin will map the square onto itself as it is symmetric about the y - axis.
Step4: Analyze y = x
Reflection over the line y = x for a square centered at the origin will map the square onto itself as it is one of the diagonal lines of symmetry for the square.
Step5: Analyze x=-1
The line x = - 1 is not a line of symmetry for the square centered at the origin shown in the graph. Reflection over x = - 1 will not carry the square onto itself.
