How to Reflect a Figure-COMPASS Example 2: Given and a line of reflection, construct , the image of over the line of reflection. Steps to reflecting a figure over a line: 1) Point on A, make arc that will hit the line of reflection twice. (Label the intersections D and E) 2) Keep compass frozen. Bullseye on D, make arc on opposite side of line of reflection. 3) Bullseye on E, make arc on opposite side of line of reflection to intersect step 2. 4)The intersection point of these 2 circles opposite the line of reflection label as A’ Practice NYTO(Now you try one!) Use your compass and straightedge to construct the image of ∆ABC after a reflection through line L.
