This line is a mirror line to reflect one half of the letter over to land on the other half, or you can think of folding a piece of paper so that one half matches with the other half. If we tried rotating the letter M, some number of degrees x such that 0 < x < 360, then this new image would not match up with the old original one. This shows there isn't any rotational symmetry for this letter.<BR>\n" );
