  1. Interact with the following app for a few minutes. Be sure to drag the LARGE POINTS, the dashed line, and Lisa's picture around! (.ggb)
     
  2. Here, we are REFLECTING Lisa's pic ABOUT A LINE. Now reposition the line so it coincides (lies on top of) the X-AXIS. (.ggb)
     
  3. In the app above, move Lisa around to get different primage points. Then, record their images in the image column. (.ggb)
     
  4. Now reposition the line so it coincides (lies on top of) the Y-AXIS. (.ggb)
     
  5. In the app above, move Lisa around to get different primage points. Then, record their images in the image column. (.ggb)
     
  6. Is it possible to move objects around so that Lisa's image lies perfectly on top of the her original (premiage)? Try it! (.ggb)
     
  7. Try again to see if it is possible to move Lisa's image on top of her preimage. Create a different setup from what you created above. (.ggb)
