- The original figure (black) is reflected across the horizontal line y = 2 to create the image (blue).
- Each vertex of the original figure has a corresponding vertex in the image that is the same perpendicular distance from the line y = 2 but on the opposite side.
- For example, point K at ( -1, -2 ) is 4 units below y=2; its reflection K' is at ( -1, 6 ), which is 4 units above y=2.
- Similarly, point J at ( -4, 2 ) lies on the line of reflection, so its reflection J' is at the same point ( -4, 2 ).
- Point V at ( -5, 4 ) is 2 units above y=2; its reflection V' is at ( -5, 0 ), which is 2 units below y=2.
- Point F at ( 1, 3 ) is 1 unit above y=2; its reflection F' is at ( 1, 1 ), which is 1 unit below y=2.
