Question

reflections are best described as: *
stays in the same position
turns around a fixed point
slides along a linear path
flips over a line of reflection
changes in position or orientation of a shape

Explanation:

Reflection is a transformation where a figure flips over a line (line of reflection). "Stays in the same position" is incorrect as reflection changes position. "Turns around a fixed point" is rotation. "Slides along a linear path" is translation. "Changes in position or orientation of a shape" is too vague. The key characteristic of reflection is flipping over a line.

Answer:

flips over a line of reflection
