Reflection A transformation of a figure over a line. The line it crosses is called line of symmetry.

Graph triangle PQR P (1, 5) Q(3, 7) R (5, -1) Graph the reflected image over the y axis. Find the coordinates of the reflected image.
Triangle TUV with vertices T (-6, 1), U (-2, -3), and V (5, -4). Triangle TUV is reflected over the x axis. What are the new coordinates without graphing? Remember: over the x axis the x coordinate stays the same and the y coordinate changes.
Triangle MNP with vertices M (2, 1), N (-3, 1) and P (-1, 4) is reflected over the y axis. What are the coordinates of M′N′P′ without graphing the figure? Remember: over the y axis the x coordinate changes and the y coordinate stays the same.
