A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.

The Focus of a plane mirror is at infinity. In other words the incident angle is the same as the reflected angle and there is no convergence.

It appears to be located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror.
