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.

Do light travel to a single direction only?

The light from our sun radiates out in all direction as the sun is ball-shaped. The part of light that strikes the earth, forming daylight, is spread over a wide area of the earth that happens to be facing towards the sun at the time. This means that light doesn't travel in a single direction. A laser beam is an example of a concentrated beam of light travelling in a single direction.
