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. 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 is a translation (shift) of the original shape. The orientation has not changed, just the position.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B is a rotation of the original shape. The orientation has changed in a rotational manner, not a reflected manner.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C shows the shape flipped over a vertical line (it could be a vertical line of reflection). The orientation has changed in a way that is characteristic of a reflection.

Answer:

C
