drag the correct term to complete the definition.
a(n) blank is transformation that flips a figure across a line.
options: translation, rotation, preimage, reflection, image

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of each transformation:

• Translation: sliding a figure.
• Rotation: turning a figure around a point.
• Preimage: the original figure before transformation.
• Reflection: flipping a figure across a line (mirror line).
• Image: the figure after transformation.

The question asks for the transformation that flips a figure across a line, which matches the definition of reflection.
