Based on the hint provided, it appears you are looking for the definition associated with the term "Line of Symmetry." This is a line that a figure in the plane has if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in the line.

Here are some other definitions for the terms you listed:

  • Reflection: A transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

  • Rotation: A transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point by a certain angle.

  • Transformation: A general term for operations that change the position, size, or shape of a figure.

  • Dilation: A transformation that alters the size of a figure while maintaining its shape, using a scale factor.

  • Pre Image: The original figure prior to a transformation.

  • Image: The resulting figure after a transformation has been applied.

  • Shrink: A type of dilation that reduces the size of a figure.

  • Degree of Rotation: The measure of the angle through which a figure is rotated.

  • Clockwise: A direction of rotation that is the same as the movement of the hands of a clock.

  • Scale Factor: A number that scales, or multiplies, the dimensions of a figure in a dilation.

  • Translation: A transformation that moves every point of a figure a constant distance in a specified direction.

  • Enlargement/Expansion: A type of dilation that increases the size of a figure.
