Question

look at this shape: which image shows a reflection?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection property

In a reflection, the shape flips over a line. The orientation changes such that left - right or up - down is reversed relative to the line of reflection.

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A looks like a translation (shift) of the original shape, not a reflection. The orientation of the shape is the same as the original in terms of which side is slanted etc.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B shows the shape flipped over a vertical line. The slanted side which was on the left in the original is now on the right, which is characteristic of a reflection.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C looks like a rotation of the original shape, not a reflection. The overall orientation of the shape's parts is different in a rotational way rather than a reflected way.

Answer:

B. Option Image B
