What to Focus On

  • A plane figure is symmetric if folding about a line makes both parts coincide exactly.
  • The line of symmetry is also called the axis of symmetry or mirror line.
  • Triangle A'B'C' is congruent to triangle ABC.

  • A line segment is symmetrical about its perpendicular bisector.
  • An angle with equal arms is symmetrical about its bisector.
  • An isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry.

  • Reflection in x-axis changes only the sign of y.
  • Reflection in y-axis changes only the sign of x.
  • Reflection in origin changes both signs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Reflection in the x-axis changes the x-coordinate sign instead of the y-coordinate sign.

Reflection in the y-axis changes the y-coordinate sign instead of the x-coordinate sign.

Reflection in origin and rotation through 180° about origin give different answers.
