When two or more lines cross or meet each other in a plane, the lines are called intersecting lines. Intersecting lines share a common point called the point of intersection. In the figure below, lines p and q intersect at point O. So, point O is the point of intersection.
Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Intersection is the joining of two or more lines, creating an angle between them. This can happen in a variety of ways, such as when two roads meet at a corner or when parallel lines intersect at one single point to create an angle.
A line of symmetry is the line that divides a shape or an object into two equal and symmetrical parts. We also call this line the axis of symmetry or mirror line because it divides the figure symmetrically, and the divided parts look like mirror reflections of each other.
A line of symmetry is defined as an imaginary line that divides an object into two identical (symmetrical) halves. Another way to think about this is: if a figure can be folded over a line such that each half perfectly overlaps, the line is a line of symmetry.
When two lines intersect and form 4 angles at the intersection, the two angles that are opposite each other are called “opposite angles” or “vertical angles” and these vertical angles are “congruent” – meaning they have the same shape and size.

Intersecting lines are when two or more lines cross each other in a plane at a crossroads. There is one common point that lies on both lines, which is called the point of intersection. Two straight intersecting lines meet and create pairs of vertically opposite angles (or vertical angles).
