roational symmetry means you can rotate the figure by any degrees that isn't a full turn and have it match up exactly with the original figure
like a wheel turning

a line of symmetry means you can reflect the figure across the line and it maches with the other side


I found a figure with rotational symmetry but no line of symmetry

see the below
