Explanation:
An image is the resulting figure in a transformation.
A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a new geometric figure.
The image of a transformation is the shape after the transformation.

A reflection is a transformation of a figure that flips the figure across a given line, called the line of reflection, so that each point on the preimage is the same distance from the line of reflection as the corresponding point on the image.

A. Find two line segments for the letter “N” that are parallel in the preimage. Are the corresponding segments in the image also parallel?
Answer:
Yes, the images are parallel.

Explanation:
From the above image shown above, y – axis both two sides of letter N are parallel,
the corresponding segments in the image also parallel to preimage and image.

B. Use a ruler to measure the length of a line segment in the preimage. Then measure the length of the corresponding line segment in the image. What do you notice about the lengths of the two segments?
Answer:
No change in lengths,
Explanation:
The length of a line segment in the preimage and corresponding line segment in the image.
We notice that the lengths of the two segments are same, with no change.

C. Use a protractor to measure an angle in the preimage and the corresponding angle in the image. What do you notice?
Answer:
No change in the angles,
Explanation:
We observe that there is no change in the angles of a line segment in the preimage of letter N,
and corresponding line segment of letter N in the image.
We notice that the lengths of the two angles segments are same angles, no change.

D. What can you conclude about the way reflecting a figure affects side length, angle measure, and parallel line segments?
Answer:
A reflection on the coordinate plane takes a geometric figure such as a point, line segment, or shape and transforms it into a congruent geometric figure called the image.
Explanation:
In this explainer, we will focus on three different types of reflection on the coordinate plane:
Reflection in the 𝑥-axis
Reflection in the 𝑦-axis
Reflection about the origin

E. Look again at the “N” and its image on the paper. Why do you think the word reflection is used to describe such an image?
Answer:
Letter N changes the shape of the letter as shown below,

Explanation:
letter N changes the shape of the letter N,
but the lengths and angles between the side of the letter N remain same.

Turn and Talk Two students perform a reflection of the same shape. One reflects over a vertical line. The other reflects over a horizontal line. How are their reflections the same? How are they different?
Answer:
Letter N changes the shape of the letter N,
but the lengths and angles between the side of the letter N remain same as shown below.

2. How can you reflect a figure over the x-axis or y-axis?
A. Reflect the image shown over the x-axis. Remember to keep each point of the image the same distance from the x-axis as the corresponding preimage point. For instance, Point C is 12 units from the x-axis, so Point C’ in the image must also be 12 units from the x-axis. Label the points using prime notation.
Answer:
HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 3 Answer Key Explore Reflections 5
Explanation:
An image is the resulting figure in a transformation.
A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a new geometric figure.
The image of a transformation is the shape after the transformation.

B. The preimage is upright. Is the image also upright, or has it changed?
__________
Answer:
Image has changed,
Explanation:
The image is larger than the preimage.
The image and the preimage are congruent, but do not have the same orientation.
When the image is on the same side the object and the image distance is positive,
then the image is said to be real and inverted.
When the image of the object is behind then the image distance is negative,
the image is said to be virtual and upright.

C. Find the length of \(\overline{A C}\) in the preimage (in units). What do you expect the length of \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) to be? Find this length.
Answer:
10 units

The length of \(\overline{A C}\) in the preimage (in units) is 10 units.
The length of \(\overline{A^{\prime} C^{\prime}}\) to be 10 units.

D. The original letter “F” faces to the right. Reflect the original image over the y-axis. Does the new image face the same direction? If not, how is it different? Label the points using double-prime notation (“).
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Letter “F” faces to the right of the original image over the y-axis,
the new image face the opposite direction as shown below figure.

E. What are the coordinates of the points on the images corresponding to the labeled points on the preimage? Complete the table.
HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 3 Answer Key Explore Reflections 6
Answer:

Explanation:
The formula for reflecting a point or line segment is as follows:
A point (x,y) being reflected over the x-axis will be reflected to the point (x,−y) .
The x-value of the coordinate is unchanged and the y-value of the coordinate changes signs.
A point (x,y) being reflected over the y-axis will be reflected to the point (-x, y) .
The y-value of the coordinate is unchanged and the y-value of the coordinate changes signs.

F. Look at your table. In general:

A point (a, b) reflected over the x-axis has the coordinates HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 3 Answer Key Explore Reflections 7
Answer:
𝑃(a, b) → 𝑃′(a, −b).
Explanation:
A reflection in the 𝑥-axis maps point 𝑃 onto its image point 𝑃′ by keeping the 𝑥-coordinate,
the same and changing the sign of the 𝑦-coordinate.
The effect is that the position of 𝑃′ will mirror that of 𝑃,
on the opposite side of the 𝑥-axis (which is the line with equation 𝑦=0),
and at the same perpendicular distance from the 𝑥-axis as 𝑃.
Since the 𝑥-axis acts like a mirror, it is called the line of reflection (or mirror line).
A point (a, b) reflected over the y-axis has the coordinates 𝑃(a, b) → 𝑃′(a, −b).

HMH Into Math Grade 8 Module 1 Lesson 3 Answer Key Explore Reflections 9
Answer:

Explanation:
The formula for reflecting a point or line segment is as follows:

The x-value of the coordinate is unchanged and the y-value of the signs of the coordinate change.
A point (x,y) being reflected over the y-axis will be reflected to the point (-x, y) .
The y-value of the coordinate is unchanged and the y-value of the signs of the coordinate change.

𝑃(x, y) → 𝑃′(x, −y).
Explanation:
A reflection in the 𝑥-axis maps point 𝑃 onto its image point 𝑃′ by keeping the 𝑥-coordinate,

(10, -2), (5, -2), (5, -7), and (10, -7)
Explanation:
A reflection in the 𝑦-axis maps point 𝑃 onto its image point 𝑃′ by changing the sign of the 𝑥-coordinates,
and keeping the 𝑦-coordinate as the same.
The effect is that the position of 𝑃′ will mirror that of 𝑃,

first shifting the given figure to left side with reference to the y axis,
and then the reflection with reference to to the x axis is the reflected image.
A reflection in the 𝑦-axis maps point 𝑃 onto its image point 𝑃′ by changing the sign of the 𝑥-coordinate,
