      • A Line is created by a collection of points moving along a straight trajectory but in opposing directions. Without breadth, depth, or curvature, a line keeps moving in a straight path endlessly in opposite directions. An absence of termination characterizes this continuous motion.
  1. In geometry, a straight line, usually abbreviated line, is an infinitely long object with no width, depth, or curvature, an idealization of such physical objects as a straightedge, a taut string, or a ray of light.

  2. Sep 30, 2024 · Straight Line. A Straight Line is a group of collinear points without any curves, extending infinitely in opposite directions. Curved Line. Curved Line is a group of collinear points with curvature or bends in its configuration. For example, curve line can be seen in the meandering course of a river. Oblique or Slanting Line

  3. Sep 19, 2022 · Even in plane geometry, however, authors will sometimes use line to connote a line segment, or to connote what others call a curved line, which civilians might call a "curve" and which mathematicians (justifiably) get all fussy over.

    The lines which are drawn horizontally and are parallel to the x-axis or perpendicular to the y-axis, are called horizontal lines. They form a 0o or 180o angle with the x-axis and a 90o or 270oangle with the y-axis. In the given figure, ←→ABAB↔is a horizontal line.

    The lines which are drawn vertically and are parallel to the y-axis, or perpendicular to the x-axis, are called vertical lines. They form a 90o or 270o angle with the x-axis and a 0o or 180oangle with the y-axis. In the given figure, ←→CDCD↔is a vertical line.

    The lines are drawn in a slanting position or form some angle other than 0o, 90o, 180o, 270o, 360owith the horizontal or vertical lines are called oblique or slanting lines. In the given figure, ←→EFEF↔ and ←→GHGH↔are slanted lines. The properties of straight lines are written below. 1. A straight line has infinite length. We can never calculate th...

    The general equation of a straight line can be given as ax + by + c = 0, where 1. a, b, c are constants, and 2. x, y are variables. 3. The slope is -a/b

    A straight line having slope m = tanθ where θ is the angle formed by the line with the positive x-axis, and y-intercept as b is given by: y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

    A straight line having slope m = tanθ where θ is the angle formed by the line with the positive x-axis, and passing through a point (x1, y1) is given by: Slope Point Form as y - y1 = m(x - x1)

    A straight line passing through points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is given by in the two point form as: y - y1 = [(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)] (x - x1).

    A straight line having x-intercept as a and y-intercept as b as shown in the figure below where point A is on the x-axis (vertical here) and point B is on the y-axis (horizontal here), is given in the intercept formby x/a + y/b = 1

    The equation of a line parallel to the x-axisis given by: y = ± a, where 1. a is the distance of the line from the x-axis. The value of a is + ve if it lies above the x-axis, and n -ve if it lies below the x-axis. The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis. is given by: x = ± b, where 1. b is the distance of the line from the y-axis. The value o...

    If a line forms a 0o angle with the x-axis, the slopeof the line is 0. The slope of a line is represented by, m = tanθ Here, θ = 0o . Hence m = tan0 = 0. Therefore, a line with the 0 slope is parallel to the x-axis.

  4. A straight line is passing through but only the part of line lying between A and B is line segment. A line segment has two end points. It's length can be measured.

  5. Pair of Straight Lines. Formulas. Solved Problems. Video Lessons. FAQs. What Is a Straight Line? A line is a geometry object characterised under zero width object that extends on both sides. A straight line is just a line with no curves. So, a line that extends to both sides to infinity and has no curves is called a straight line.

  6. Aug 15, 2023 · We’re just going to need a new way of writing down the equation of a curve. So, before we get into the equations of lines we first need to briefly look at vector functions. We’re going to take a more in depth look at vector functions later.
