A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in opposite directions. It is made up of an infinite number of points and has no thickness. In geometry, a line is typically represented by a straight line with arrowheads at each end to indicate that it extends indefinitely.
There are different types of lines, including:
In mathematics, lines are often described using their equations, such as the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) or the point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)). These equations help us understand the position and direction of a line on a graph.
Understanding lines and their properties is fundamental in many areas of mathematics, including geometry, algebra, and calculus.
