Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to identify the line of reflection that maps rhombus PQRS onto rhombus JKLM.
Let's analyze the options given:
- y = 1: This is a horizontal line at .
- x = 1: This is a vertical line at .
- y = x: This is a diagonal line passing through points where .
- y-axis: This is the vertical line .
Observing the rhombi:
- Rhombus PQRS and rhombus JKLM appear to be symmetric across a line.
- Both rhombi seem to be reflected over a diagonal line based on their relative positions.
Verifying the reflection line:
Since both rhombi are mirrored diagonally, the line of reflection is likely to be the line y = x, which reflects points along this diagonal line.
Thus, the correct line of reflection is y = x.
