question 7 of 10

when a line of symmetry divides an image, every point on one side of the line has a corresponding point on the other side.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the definition of a line of symmetry

A line of symmetry (or axis of symmetry) divides a figure into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other. By definition, for every point on one side of the line, there must be a corresponding reflected point on the opposite side at an equal distance from the line.

Evaluate the given statement

The statement says: "When a line of symmetry divides an image, every point on one side of the line has a corresponding point on the other side." Since reflectional symmetry requires every part of the shape on one side of the axis to map directly onto a matching part on the other side, this statement is true.

Answer:

• A. True (Correct answer)
• B. False
