Definition for Line of symmetry?
If you can reflect (or flip) a figure over a line and the figure appears unchanged, then the figure has reflection symmetry or line symmetry. The line that you reflect over is called the line of symmetry. A line of symmetry divides a figure into two mirror-image halves.
A line of symmetry divides a figure into to halves that are the mirror images of each other. Fold a square sheet of paper exactly in half. When you unfold the paper you will see the crease down the center. That is an example of a line of symmetry. Both sides of an object must be equal to be symmetrical. Let's do a construction taking off on this idea. You've probably already done it at one time or another. Fold that piece of paper, and take a pair of scissors and cut half a heart out of it using the crease as a line going down the "middle" of the heart. Unfold the finished construction. You'll have a heart (nice work!), and that fold you made in the paper is the line of symmetry for the figure. The line of symmetry divides any shape into mirror images.
got it? :)
How about just Line symmetry
Lines of symmetry -you can reflect (or flip) a figure over a line and the figure appears unchanged, then the figure has reflection symmetry or line symmetry
it must be unchanged
Isnt there a difference between Line symmetry and Line of symmetry
go away raw
i think no...

Raw i'm about to report you.
i am going with you vvnnhh123...
And your name dont help your cause
it is simply the imaginary line of anything that reflects and have both halves matches exactly.
a good answer for a change...at last
**sigh**
i 'll add it...(*o**)
YAY Kirsten!! lol
Yay, high five!!
"hits computer" High five!
haha, great!!!
how's it going with you, raw?
