In maths, a reflection or rotation of a shape makes its image. In online safety, never share images of yourself with strangers, and remember images can be edited or fake. In stories, writers use words to create images in the reader's mind. Phrases: «mirror image», «search for images», «the image of» (looks just like). ### Examples - Draw the image of the shape after reflecting it in the mirror line.
