A line of symmetry
Symmetry is dividing a shape or figure in a certain way so that both sides are the same. Usually the line of symmetry, the line separating the shape, is a straight line.
square and Equilateral Trangle
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.
all equilateral shapes do. that means that all sides are the same length.

roughly
No. You can reflect any shape about a line but if the resulting image is not the same as the original, that line is not a line of symmetry.
Stand the mirror perpendicular to the figure. When it is positioned on the line of symmetry, the image in the mirror should be the same as the original image. However, this only works with your line of sight being the correct plane.

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.
All regular shapes have a line of symmetry. But you can get rid of its line of symmetry by making it irregular (so the angles aren't the same).
a line of symmetry is the middle of a shape that is the same on both sides
