My scanner's not working for me to scan the picture and show you, but I'll try to describe as best as possible:

The problem is, "draw reflecting lines that would accomplish the following move:"

Then there is a picture of a bunny sitting upright - ears at the top, feet at the bottom. Down and a few inches to the right, the bunny is rotated 90 degrees onto his side, so that it now looks like a duck. (The ears are the beak, etc.) We have been using MIRAS in class, but no matter what angle I try it at, I'm unable to reflect anything that will result in the end shape, even by using the reflection of a reflection.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - it seems like it should be simple, right? If you could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. It's only extra credit, but I have a feeling I'll be needed it this semester. Thanks!

In general, rotations cannot be achieved through reflections and vice-versa. Those are two different types of operations.
