Describing lines

Describing lines

A line can be long or short. A line can be flat or slant or vertical. If a line is rotated in any direction, it remains to be a line. So, given below (Fig. 4.3) are lines in different positions.

But the following (Fig.4.4) are not lines.

If the length of a line is ignored, then it can be extended in both the directions without ending as in (Fig. 4.5) given below. A line through two points A and B is written as  or . Also it is denoted by a letter ' l ' .
