A figure is said to have a line of symmetry or linear symmetry if there exists a line which divides the figure into two identical halves such that they coincide when folded along this line.

The line of symmetry can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (PQ and RS) as shown in the figure. They overlap exactly when folded across these lines.
