Light reflects from mirrors obeying the laws of reflection. Some reflects into our eyes causing an image to be seen.
The image in a mirror is located where the light rays seem to have come from.
A reflection appears to be directly opposite the object, the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
The image in a mirror is the right way up but is laterally inverted.
