Answer

$65^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The reflected ray is equal to the incident ray, so the reflected ray would be at $25^{\circ}$ angle relative to the normal. To find the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror, we just need to find the complement of that $25^{\circ}$ angle which is $65^{\circ}$.
