What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine folding a piece of paper along a slanted line — like a diagonal fold!

  2. 2

    What does a reflection do to a shape?

  3. 3

    Here's a shape and a slanted mirror line. See how each point flips to the other side?

  4. 4

    Let's reflect this triangle over the diagonal line together!

  5. 5

    Flip this shape over the slanted line! Tap where each corner should go.

  6. 6

    If a point is at (2,4) and you reflect it over the diagonal line y=x, where does it go?

  7. 7

    What happens to the shape's size when you reflect it over a diagonal?
