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.

Why does sunlight reflected off a mirror onto an already sunlit surface appear to be much brighter?

When sunlight hits the wall it is reflected back in all directions. Some of it hits your eye and some of it hits the mirror. The light that hits the mirror re-reflected back to its source and strikes the wall again. That light is then re-re-reflected of the surface and some of it reaches your eye. Basically, the light that would have normally gone elsewhere is given a second chance to reach your eye.
