each picture shows a figure and its reflection. which picture shows the line of reflection?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall line - of - reflection concept
The line of reflection is the line that acts as a mirror such that each point of the original figure and its corresponding point on the reflected figure are equidistant from this line.
Step2: Analyze each option
In a reflection, the line of reflection should be between the original figure and its reflection and perpendicular to the line segment connecting corresponding points. The first picture shows a vertical line that is between the two glove - like figures and perpendicular to the line segments connecting corresponding points on the two figures. The other pictures either have the line in the wrong position (not between the figure and its reflection) or the line is not perpendicular to the connection of corresponding points.

The first picture
