The line of symmetry that will flip the figure onto itself is the y-axis.
To identify a line of symmetry that will flip the figure onto itself, we need to find a line along which the shape can be folded in half and both sides will match.
In the given image of the rectangle, we can see that a line passing vertically through the middle of the rectangle divides it into two congruent halves. This line is parallel to the y-axis. Therefore, the line of symmetry that will flip the figure onto itself is the y-axis.
Hence, the correct answer is "y-axis" or "y-axis line."
