any ideas? :)

anonymous · Answer

i think it's the origin but i'm not sure

butterflydreamer · Answer

hmm... origin symmetry is when every part has a matching part so this means: - it has the same distance from the central point - BUT in the opposite direction. So for e.g. http://prntscr.com/70w0sc i've drawn out your x and y -axis here: http://prntscr.com/70vzsx

the red line represents the x-axis.
So looking at the red line, does it perfectly cut the shape in half..or so they look like reflections of each other?

anonymous · Answer

reflections..so the symm is over the  x axis?
