okay, i know this sounds pretty layman but in simple terms, the distance between object and mirror is the same as the distance between mirror and image.
e.g.
object<-----0.5m----->mirror<-----0.5m----->image
so if you're looking for the total distance between object and image, it'll be the distance between object and mirror, multiplied by 2.
hope its what ure looking for
cheers :)

The image is on the reflective surface of the mirror so it is 0.0 to the proverbial 17 decimal places behind the mirror. I almost ranted on you for failing to pay attention in class but lets see how many alternate answers you get.

If you mean, "Where on the mirror does the inverted image first exist?" The answer would be on the reflective surface behind the glass.
If the question is about perspective, then the answer would be, "On the surface of the glass."
Light is tricky stuff. If we could outrun it, we could set in a chair in Abell 2218 and watch the history of Earth through a telescope.

A mirror image reverses the sign of the coordinate orthogonal to the plane of the mirror. the situation is mirror symmetric.

measure how far the object is away from the mirror, then multiply by 2

It's right on the surface of the mirror and only appears to have depth.

When you look in the mirror, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
