A line was described by [[Euclid]] as having "breadthless length. This means that a line in infinitely long, but has no width. Lines can be considered as curves with infinite radius of curvature. A line that can be drawn on paper is not actually a line, but a representation of a line. Two points determine a line. A line can be broken down into finite [[line segment]]s.
