To determine a line of reflection that will flip a quadrilateral onto itself, you need to identify any symmetries the quadrilateral may have.
If the quadrilateral PQRS is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis, then the line of reflection could be \( y = 0 \) (the x-axis). Alternatively, if the figure has a diagonal symmetry (like being a parallelogram or other shapes), the line of reflection could be along the diagonal.
Without a visual diagram, the specific line of reflection can vary based on the orientation and shape of PQRS. However, common lines of reflection include vertical or horizontal lines passing through the center or specific midpoints, or diagonals if applicable.
If you have the coordinates or more details about PQRS, I can give you a specific equation for the line of reflection. Alternatively, you could check if the quadrilateral has properties of being a rectangle, rhombus, or parallelogram, which often have symmetry lines that you can identify based on the vertices.
