Line segment: A line segment has two endpoints with a fixed length. The angle formed between the vertical and the horizontal line is ninety degrees. They are two lines that form a congruent adjacent angle to each other. Perpendicular lines are formed when a horizontal and a vertical line meet each other at a point. These two lines do not intercept at any point in space. Two lines are said to be parallel when the distance between the two straight lines is the same at all points. Here y is any point in the line of x coordinates, and b is the y-intercept. The slope of the horizontal line is zero. It is parallel to the x-axis of the plane. Here x is any point in the line of coordinate x, and a is the x-intercept.Ī horizontal line is one of the types of lines in which all points have the same y - coordinate.

The equation of the vertical line is, x = a. It is parallel to the y-axis of the coordinate plane. All points in the vertical line have the same x coordinate. Here, n is equivalent to any sort of real number. We can draw a graph for a vertical line by plotting x = n. This type of line has an undefined slope. Let us discuss the formulae, figures, and definitions of each one of it.Ī vertical line is a straight line, or in layman’s terms, a standing line. It symbolizes the fact that the line is extending in both directions. We represent a line by placing two arrows at both endpoints pointing in opposite directions. Famous mathematician defined the line is 'breadthless length'.Ī line has a start and an endpoint. In Ancient time, Mathematicians introduced the concept of a line with the sole purpose of denoting objects which had no curves or were straight with negligible depth and breadth. They have the ability to be embedded in higher dimensional spaces. It is also known as a straight line, or a right to emphasize the fact that it does not have any curves anywhere along its length.

It is a one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely from the extreme ends. The most basic and elementary form of geometry is the line. Everything in the world right from a small flower to an area in the map is made up of a set of dots put together in various forms.
