Question

which of the pictures below shows a reflection (flip)?
x.
y.
z.
a. z
b. y
c. x
d. none of these

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection property

A reflection (flip) changes the orientation of an object such that it is a mirror - image of the original.

Step2: Analyze option X

The object in option X has not changed its orientation. It is the same as the original, so it is not a reflection.

Step3: Analyze option Y

The ball in option Y has just been rotated, not reflected. Its orientation relative to the color - pattern is not a mirror - image.

Step4: Analyze option Z

The object in option Z has its features (eyes, mouth) flipped as if in a mirror, which is a reflection.

Answer:

A. Z
