What is a line of symmetry? • A line on which a figure can be folded so that both sides match. To coincide.
To be a line of symmetry, the shape must have two halves that match exactly. When you trace half a heart onto a piece of folded paper, and then cut it out, the two half hearts make a whole heart. The two halves are symmetrical.
