a line of symetry can be applied to one shape but cannot go between two shapes unless those two shapes are infact a part of one larger, symetrical shape.
a line of reflection goes between two shapes. so O l O this is two circles with a line of reflection in between them. if there was a line of reflection between two e's then one of the e's would have to be a backwards e.

What is the difference between line symmetry and rotational symmetry?
Line or reflective symmetry is really a special case of rotational symmetry but from a different viewpoint. In line symmetry imagine a line going north to south on the page. If you rotate an image out of the page around that line through 180 degrees you get a reflection. For rotational symmetry imagine that same line being perpendicular to the page so that you see it as a dot. The image is then rotated around that dot.
What is glide symmetry?
A glide reflection is a combination of translation along some line and reflection in the line. Human footprints are a good example. Glide symmetry is another way to refer to it.
What is line halfway between the preimage and reflected image?
Line of reflection.
Does z have rotational symmetry but no line symmetry?
The letters H and Z have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry
Is line symmetry the same as diagonal symmetry?
No, line symmetry and diagonal symmetry are not the same. Line symmetry, also known as reflection symmetry, occurs when a figure can be divided into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other across a line. Diagonal symmetry, on the other hand, occurs when a figure can be divided into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other across a diagonal line. In essence, while both involve symmetry across a line, the orientation and positioning of that line differ between the two types of symmetry.
