A line is a concept in Euclidean geometry that has length but no breadth or depth. A line is made up of an infinite number of points. The extremities of a surface are made up of lines. A straight line is made up of points such that any straight line segment linking any two of the points will be part of the original line. Any plane can be completely defined by two distinct intersecting straight lines.
