To determine the line of symmetry for rectangle WARD, you can typically find this by looking for a line that divides the rectangle into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other.

For a rectangle, the lines of symmetry are usually:

  1. The vertical line that runs down the middle of the rectangle.
  2. The horizontal line that cuts across the middle of the rectangle.

If we assume that rectangle WARD is oriented in a traditional way (aligned with the axes), the vertical line of symmetry would be the line corresponding to the x-coordinate at the center of the rectangle, and the horizontal line of symmetry would correspond to the y-coordinate at the center.

Given the possible responses, if the rectangle is centered at x=3, that would be the line of symmetry.

Therefore, based on the options provided, the correct answer is:

x = 3.
