Magnification (m) fomula for a lens is:$\text{m}=\frac{\text{v}(\text{distance of image})}{\text{u}(\text{distance of object})}$
Magnification fomula for a mirror has a minus sign (-) but the Magnification fomula for a lens has to minus sign. Magnification fomula for a mirror is: $\text{m}=-\frac{\text{v}(\text{distance of image})}{\text{u}(\text{distance of object})}$
