The false statement is (c) The line of symmetry must be a vertical or horizontal line.
Which is not true about reflections
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The list of options
By definition
Reflection is a transformation that flips objects over a line, often referred to as the line of symmetry.
- It does not preserve orientation
- it flips across a line
If a point is originally to the left of the line of reflection, its image after reflection will be to the right.
If it was originally above the line, it will be below it,
Also, these points will be at the same distance from the line of reflection
So, the false statement is
(c) The line of symmetry must be a vertical or horizontal line.
Question
Which of the following is not true about reflections
