I am doing a presentation about reflection symmetry and I have to do five problems that have to do with reflection symmetry, Can any one help me? I know there is the X axis, Y axis, -X axis and -Y axis but I can't think in any problems to do with this axis, I know reflection symmetry is when one side is the reflection of the other. Please help

I think the five most basic symmetries are:

x axis
y axis
y = x
y = -x
the origin

Pick the point (h,k) and reflect it using the five symmetries above.

By the way, it doesn't make sense to break up the x and y axes into positive and negative for the purpose of symmetry.

There's symmetry about the origin. That's when you take something, flip it over the y-axis, then flip it x-axis.

There's also symmetry about the line y = x. The inverse of a function is the function you get when you reflect it about the line y = x.
