It means that if you flip the figure over, you get the same figure again.

What is called a figure that reflects?

A line of symmetry is a reflection.


What is linear symmetry?

A figure has linear symmetry when after reflection, the image looks exactly the same as the original


What is the property of a figure that can be reflected across a line so that the image coincides with the pre image?

The property is Reflection Symmetry, Line Symmetry or Mirror Symmetry


What is a figure that is not changed by a horizontal reflection or a translation?

No figure is changed by a translation so the last part of the question is irrelevant. Any figure with a horizontal line of symmetry will not be changed by a horizontal reflection.


What is line and point symmetry?

Oh, dude, line symmetry is when you can fold a shape in half and both sides match up perfectly, like a beautiful butterfly. Point symmetry is basically when a shape looks the same even after you give it a little spin, like a merry-go-round that never gets dizzy. So, like, line symmetry is all about folding, and point symmetry is more about twirling.


How do you figure out lines of symmetry?

Think of the line of symmetry as a mirror (indeed try using a small hand rectangular hand mirror). a symmetry either side of a line is like a reflection of one side in the mirror.
