Q1.
Which of the following statements is correct?
Correct answer: The line of reflection can sometimes be horizontal or vertical
The line of reflection is always horizontal
The line of reflection is always parallel with the x axis
The line of reflection is always vertical
Q2.

Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will change
Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will stay the same
Only the x coordinate will stay the same
Correct answer: Only the y coordinate will stay the same
Q3.
If we are reflecting a shape onto a horizontal line of symmetry then which of the following statements is correct?
Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will change
Both the x and y coordinates of the reflected shapes will stay the same
Correct answer: Only the x coordinate will stay the same
Only the y coordinate will stay the same
Q4.

(-2, 6)
(-2, 8)
Correct answer: (-4, 2)
(4, -6)
Q5.

(-6,3) and (-3,4)
Correct answer: (-6,4) and (-3,4)
(-6,4) and (-4,3)
