A line of symmetry is usually within the object whereas a line of reflection need not be.

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.
The property is Reflection Symmetry, Line Symmetry or Mirror 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.
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.
