Which best describes the location of the line of reflection? A. 6 units to the left of point A B. 3 units below point A C. 3 units to the left of point A D. 3 units to the right of point A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its A. All you have to do, is look at your answer choices and count the spaces between the original and reflection

OpenStudy (vianne):

Mmh.. Thanks :P

OpenStudy (vianne):

I was thinking of A xD Can you help me with 4 more?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, not A. They want the LINE OF REFLECTION. It'll be 3 units left of Point A.

OpenStudy (vianne):

Oh..

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

The line of reflection is like the line you're mirroring something, :3

OpenStudy (vianne):

Mmh.. So there's like an imaginary line sort of..? And then we count how many spaces there are to get from point A to the imaginary line?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yesh, an imaginary line. It would be easier if you drew the actual line. You'll see a point of it is located 3 units left of point A.

OpenStudy (vianne):

Okay.. How about this one? Which best describes the location of the line of reflection? A. 2 units above point A B. 2 units below point A C. 4 units to the left of point A D. 4 units to the right of point A

OpenStudy (vianne):

Would the answer be A?

OpenStudy (vianne):

B*

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yesh. If you drew the line of reflection, a point of it will be 2 units above point A.

OpenStudy (vianne):

Ohh.. xD I thought it'd be B since the imaginary line was 2 units below A ;o

OpenStudy (vianne):

So, the one that's traced red the reflection? Or the actual figure?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, you probably were looking at the wrong shape. The black shape is the original picture, the red is the reflection.

OpenStudy (vianne):

Okay, so we want to know the units from the black shape to the imaginary line?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yes.

OpenStudy (vianne):

Okay, now I get it :P I got confused..
