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.
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. Point symmetry, also known as rotational symmetry, occurs when a figure can be rotated less than 360 degrees about a central point and still look the same. In other words, point symmetry is when a figure looks the same after a certain rotation, while line symmetry is when a figure looks the same after a reflection across a line.

What is the line of symmetry of an angle?
the distance from a point on either ray of the angle that is equidistance from the axis of symmetry is the line of symmetry. the line of symmetry dives the angle in half.
What divides a design so that every point on one side of the line coincides with a point on the other side of it?
Line of Symmetry
When a line of symmetry divides an image every point on one side of the line has a corresponding point on the other side?
true
What would a z have for a line of symmentry?
z does not have a line of symmetry. z does not have a line of symmetry. z does not have a line of symmetry. z does not have a line of symmetry.
How many lines of symmetry does LINES have?
If the question refers to a single completely geometrically straight line of finite length in a plane, then a straight line will have two lines of symmetry. One symmetry line is perpendicular to the line being discussed and one symmetry line coincides with the line being discussed. The symmetry operation here is the one where every point of the figure is flipped perpendicularly across the symmetry line and the object is symmetric if that flipping produced exactly the same set of points. (Said differently, if flipping the set of points through a line produced an exact replica of the original set of points, then the like determining the flip is a symmetry line.) One level of complication occurs if the straight line which is the subject of the symmetry question is an infinitely long straight line. In such a case one symmetry line still coincides with the actual line, but all lines that are perpendicular to the straight line will be lines of symmetry. Thus, an infinitely long straight line has no single point as its "middle" and has an infinitely many symmetry lines consisting of all possible lines perpendicular to the original line.
What is a point of symmetry and a line containing that point?
It is a line through the point of symmetry. In general it is not an axis of symmetry.
What is a figure that has point symmetry but not line symmetry?
The letters S and N have point symmetry but not line symmetry.
When an image has a point of symmetry then the line containing that point will be a line of symmetry?
false
When an image has a point of symmetry then any line containing that point will be a line of symmetry?
False
When an image has a point of symmetry then any line containing that point will be a line of symmetry true or false?
true
For every point on one side of a line of symmetry there is a corresponding point on the other side of the line symmetry?
True.
What is the line of symmetry of an angle?
the distance from a point on either ray of the angle that is equidistance from the axis of symmetry is the line of symmetry. the line of symmetry dives the angle in half.
Does a heart have a point of symmetry?
A line but not a point.
What kind of symmetry does a line have?
If it is a straight line then it has lateral symmetry along its length. It also has symmetry at every point along its length.
Does a trapezoid have line symmetry and point symmetry?
Only if it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid
Which figure has line symmetry and point symmetry?
There are infinitely many such shapes. To start with, any regular will do.
Does a semi circle have rotational symmetry?
If the central point of the straight line is placed exactly on the middle, and such central point has an axis, it will have a rotational symmetry.
