A reflection is a transformation in which every point of a figure is reflected across a line. The line across the points are reflected is called the line of reflection and acts like a mirror.
More precisely, a reflection across a line ℓ maps every point A in the plane onto its imageA′ such that one of the following statements is satisfied.
If A is on the line ℓ, then A and A′ are the same point.
