MOVEMENTS IN THE CARTESIAN PLANE:
REFLECTION
The reflection of a figure or object to a given line, called axis of
reflection is a geometric transformation such that the image of a point A (of
the figure) regarding a point A' whose distance is the same as A to.
EXAMPLE 1
In the figure, the reflection of triangle ABC with respect to the Y-axis is observed and the
we express it like this: R(ABC) = A'B'C' with respect to the Y-axis. when there is more than one
reflection is often used subscripts to differentiate them: 1, 2, 3, etc.
In the previous figure, the reflection of triangle ABC with respect to the Y-axis is observed.
we express it as: R(ABC) = A'B'C' with respect to the Y-axis. when there is more than one
subscripts are often used to differentiate them 1, 2, 3, etc.
In geometry, we can use a line as a 'mirror' to represent some
situations. For example, observe the following figure, the rectangle acts as a
mirror: the hexagon ABCFGH is to the left of triangle CDE, while
that the hexagon A'B'C'F'G'H' is to the right of triangle C'D'E'. the point
And it is closer to the rectum, so is E´.

SOLUTION
We carry out R(ABCDE). We carry out 1(A'B'D'C'D'E')

If we establish a coordinate axis system in the plane, we can find

ACTIVITIES
1. Draw the reflection of each pre-image with respect to the indicated line or
give in each case.
[Link] in the Cartesian plane the preimage and the image of the reflections
that are described below
a) Preimage: polygon with vertices: (-5,-3); (-1,-3); (-5,1); (-1,1). Rx:
reflection with respect to the x-axis
b) Preimage: polygon with vertices: (0,6); (6,0); (0,-6); (-6,0). Ry:
reflection with respect to the y-axis
c) Preimage: polygon with vertices: (0,0); (-4,0); (0,2); (-5,-3). R:
reflection regarding the line that connects the points (-2,2) and (3,-3)
d) Preimage: polygon with vertices: (0,0); (-4,0); (0,2); (-5,-3). R:
reflection regarding the line that joins the points (2,2) and (3,3)
3. Which uppercase letters of the alphabet have a line of reflection?
[Link] if each of the following propositions is true or false.
If it is false, write an example in your notebook that shows it.
a) The image of the reflection of a figure with respect to a line is
a figure of the same shape and size as the preimage
b) The image of the reflection with respect to the X-axis of a figure that is
find in the first quadrant is a figure in the second
quadrant
