Line symmetry is like with butterflies or flowers, where you can slice a straight line through the midpoint of a shape, and have both sides be identical.
Reflectional symmetry is where lets say to have half of a ♥. If you shined a reflection, an exact reflection, you would have line symmetry.
In some terms, they are the same. In some terms, they are both linked together. In some terms, they are used completely different from each other. It's all about the situation you have symmetrical-wise.
Hope this helps!

An image has Reflectional Symmetry if there is at least one line which splits the image in half so that one side is the mirror image of the other. Reflectional symmetry is also called line symmetry or mirror symmetry because there is a line in the figure where a mirror could be placed, and the figure would look the same.
Reflection symmetry, reflectional symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, or bilateral symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection
No, it has seven.
The letter "x" has both rotational and reflectional symmetry. It can be rotated 180 degrees and still appear the same, demonstrating rotational symmetry. Additionally, it has two lines of reflectional symmetry: one diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right and another from the top right to the bottom left.
No, that statement is not true. Reflectional symmetry refers to a design that is identical on both sides of a central line, meaning it can be folded along that line and the two halves will match. The quality of maintaining characteristics when rotated about a point describes rotational symmetry, not reflectional symmetry.

Um, it's the exact matching of parts on either side of a straight line, so it's exactly the same either side. I think It's sometimes called line symmetry, mirror symmetry or bilateral symmetry!
Actually, reflectional symmetry refers to a design's ability to be divided into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other along a line of symmetry. It does not involve rotation; instead, it is about flipping the design over the line. For a shape to exhibit reflectional symmetry, one side must be a mirror image of the other side.
no because if you rotate a rectangle it is not the same
None normally unless it's in the form of an isosceles trapezoid which has 1 line of symmetry.
Yes it does. A regular hexagon will have both rotational and reflectional symmetry about its centre.
