Of sorts, it reflects and focuses it into a single path, instead of it just going anywhere it desires.

IN ADDITION:No. The reason for this is that the mirror blocks the light that it reflects. One side of the candle is twice as bright because of the mirror, but one side isn't lit at all. So the same amount of light, just directed differently. A convex mirror does focus the light from a candle into a tighter beam.

What is a line of reflection?

A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.
