Line - has no thickness. Its only dimension is length.
- has no endpoints. It extends forever in each direction. ( arrows )
- it is ALWAYS straight
- labeled with a lower case script letter ( line a )
- if there are points on the line, you can
also name it using the points. ( line AB )
- the part of the line between A and B
is called a line segment
- line segments have definite endpoints
