A line of symmetry divides a shape into two identical halves, making each half a mirror image of the other. This means if you fold the shape along the line of symmetry, the two halves perfectly overlap.

Shapes with no lines of symmetry cannot be divided into identical halves by folding. They lack a mirror-like quality.

A shape with two halves that perfectly match when folded along a specific line. The line acts as a central dividing line.

A shape with one line of symmetry, where the line divides the shape into two identical halves. The halves are mirror images of each other.

A point is symmetrical with respect to a line if the perpendicular distance between the point and the line is the same as the distance between the line and its mirror image on the other side of the line. It's like a mirror reflection across the line.
