a plane mirror (flat)
virtual image ( not on screen, brain interpreting)
A plane mirror will always create an upright image of 1/2 scale.
If you are in front of a flat mirror, your image appears to be twice the distance from you as the mirror.In optics they use ray diagrams to demonstrate this. If you did not know the mirror was there, the image would be 4 meters from you, two meters behind the mirror.
when dealing with a flat mirror object-distance and image-distance should be equal.
A plane mirror is a mirror which is completely flat, easier for your image to be reflected.
If light hits a mirror at an angle it reflects back at you but it will make the image look bigger or smaller (if the mirror is concave or convex). If it is a flat plane mirror the image is the same but if your holding something it will be on the opposite side
No, to get a real image from a mirror it must be able to focus light (which flat mirrors can't do).

What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image
a plane mirror (flat)
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface

A concave mirror will focus an image and make it appear smaller. A convex mirror will disperse an image and make it appear larger.
