We can define a line of reflection as the line in which a shape is reflected, or we can say that it is the mirror in which the shape is reflected. The line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector of any pair of corresponding points. If you want to join sets of corresponding points on the object and image, then the line of reflection will slice the lines framed down the middle.
