Question

look at this shape: which image shows a reflection? a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection property

In a reflection, the shape flips over a line of reflection, and the distance of each point from the line of reflection in the original shape is the same as the distance of its corresponding point in the reflected - shape from the line of reflection. Also, the orientation of the shape changes (left - right or up - down).

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A shows a translation (a slide) of the original shape, not a reflection. The orientation of the shape has not changed in a way that indicates a flip.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B shows the same shape in the same orientation and position as the original. It is not a reflection.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C shows the shape flipped over a vertical line. The orientation of the shape has changed (left - right), and it appears to be a mirror - image of the original shape across a vertical line.

Answer:

C. Option C
