How to flip a Path element horizontally

I have this <Path> element in a xaml file. I would like to create a copy and flip it horizontally so that the shape will point in the other direction. The <Path> has a really long Data field so I was wondering if there was a way to flip one of the elements instead of just eyeballing the element and manually making it appear the same shape and size.

I looked into flipping the image programatically using RenderTransform and ScaleTransform, but I am afraid it might hinder the performance of the application especially during a window resize.

References: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wpf/graphics-multimedia/transforms-overview

Is there a protocol or way I can translate the Path element's Data field into its horizontally flipped opposite in a way that wonder hurt the performance of the application?

If you want to mirror the shape you might want to try this:

<Path data= "...">
  <Path.RenderTransform>
     <ScaleTransform ScaleX="-1.0"/>
  </Path.RenderTransform>
</Path>

This doesn't really hurt the performance, since all rendered elements are transformed at some point anyway.
