question 6 of 10
the line of symmetry divides a design so that every point on one side of the
line ___ a point on the other side of it.
a. is equal to
b. is rotated to
c. becomes
d. coincides with

Explanation:

A line of symmetry divides a design such that every point on one side of the line has a corresponding point on the other side. These points are mirror - images. When we talk about the relationship between a point on one side of the line of symmetry and its counterpart on the other side, we say that the point on one side coincides with (matches exactly in position relative to the line of symmetry) the point on the other side. "Is equal to" is too vague in a geometric - symmetry context (not about numerical equality). "Is rotated to" implies a rotational transformation (which is a different type of transformation than reflection over a line of symmetry). "Becomes" is also too general. So, the most appropriate term is "coincides with".

Answer:

D. coincides with
