9.3Performing Reflections • Reflection: a transformation that uses a line to reflect an image. • A reflection is an isometry, but its orientation changes from the preimage to the image • Line of reflection is the line that acts like a mirror • A reflection in a line (m) maps every point (P) in the plane to a point (P΄) so that for each point, one of the following is true: • If P is on m, then P=P΄ • P m • P΄
Performing Reflections • Or, if P is not on m, then m is the ⊥ bisector PP΄ P P΄
Reflect AB: across the x-axis across the y-axis across the line y=x across the line y=-x
Rules for Reflections • If (a,b) is reflected in the x-axis, its image is (a,-b). • If (a,b) is reflected in the y-axis, its image is (-a,b). • If (a,b) is reflected in the line y = x, its image is (b,a). • If (a,b) is reflected in the line y = -x, its image is (-b,-a).

The vertices of ABC are A(1, 3),B(5, 2), and C(2, 1). Graph the reflection of ABC described. a. In the linen : x = 3 Point Ais 2 units left of n, so its reflectionA′is 2 units right of nat (5, 3). Also, B′ is 2 units left of nat (1, 2), and C′is 1 unit right of n at (4, 1). Graph reflections in horizontal and vertical lines SOLUTION
The vertices of ABC are A(1, 3),B(5, 2), and C(2, 1). Graph the reflection of ABC described. b. In the linem : y = 1 Point Ais 2 units above m, so A′ is 2 units below mat (1, –1). Also, B′ is 1 unit below mat (5, 0). Because point Cis on line m, you know that C = C′. Graph reflections in horizontal and vertical lines SOLUTION
Real World: Find a minimum distance You are going to meet a friend on the beach shoreline. Where should you meet in order to minimize the distances you both have to walk.?
Your house is at (-6,3) and your friend’s house is at (9,6). At what point on the shoreline (x-axis) should you meet? Shoreline
