To complete the equation for the vertical line of reflection of a polygon that maps onto itself, you need to find the x-coordinate of the line of reflection. Typically, for polygons that are symmetric with respect to a vertical line, this line is located at the midpoint of the horizontal span of the shape.
If the x-coordinates of the leftmost and rightmost points of the polygon are known (let's say \(x_{left}\) and \(x_{right}\)), the equation for the vertical line of reflection would be:
\[
x = \frac{x_{left} + x_{right}}{2}
\]
If you have specific points or additional information about the polygon's coordinates, you could substitute those values in to find the exact equation.
If you do not have the specific coordinates, but know the polygon is symmetric, you might just need to state the simple relationship and finalize the equation accordingly. For example, if the symmetric shape is centered at some x-coordinate, you could put that value in place of \(x\).
