A graph is symmetric when one transformation leaves its shape unchanged. We’ll locate the curve’s center or turning point, then compare points the same horizontal distance on either side of a possible mirror line. That reflection test distinguishes line symmetry from symmetry about an axis or the origin, so the geometry—not just the graph’s overall balance—determines the description.
