Reflection

Definition- A transformation in which a geometric figure is reflected across a line, creating a mirror image.A reflection, in math terms, is very like the everyday use of it. The figure is flipped from one axis to the other, and the shape itself is flipped. This is done by changing the sign to the opposite by the axis you're flipping it on. For example, if you are flipping it on the x-axis, the Y value's sign is flipped to the opposite.
