A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What is a reflection in geometry?
Reflection of an object is the flip of that subject on a particular line, that is called line of reflection.
How is a line of reflection like a line of symmetry?
A line of reflection and a line of symmetry both show the reverse of an image.
What is the line of reflection in symmetry?
The line of reflection in symmetry is the imaginary line that travels down the line of symmetry. For example, in a square, the line of reflection would be the line down the center of the square, and the line down the diagonal of the square.
What reflection flips a point in a line?
There is no form of reflection that flips one point on a line and leaves the rest of the line unchanged.
How are points and their images related to the line of reflection?
The line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector of any point and its image.
