Question

6 what is the line of reflection for the two polygons? a y = x b x = 1 c y = 3 d x = 3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection property

In a reflection, corresponding points of the pre - image and image are equidistant from the line of reflection.

Step2: Observe x - coordinates

For each point on the left - hand polygon and its corresponding point on the right - hand polygon, the mid - point of the line segment connecting them lies on the line of reflection. Looking at the x - coordinates of corresponding points, we can see that the line \(x = 1\) is the line such that the distance of each point of the first polygon from \(x = 1\) is the same as the distance of its corresponding reflected point from \(x = 1\).

Answer:

B. \(x = 1\)
