Lines and Types of

lines
Straight line and curved line
• We use a ruler to draw straight lines. Straight lines can be horizontal, vertical or
slanting. A straight line can be draw between two points. Straight lines are shown
below.
• A curved line is one that is not straight and is bent. Ideally, it is smooth and
continuous. In other words, a curve is defined as a group of points that resemble
a straight line that falls between two neighbouring points
Line
• A line is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width.
• A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely.
• It is determined by two points in a two-dimensional plane.
Line Segment
• A line segment is part of a line which has defined endpoints
• It has a beginning point and an ending point
Ray
• A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint (i.e. starting point) and it extends in
one direction endlessly.
Parallel Lines
• When two straight lines don’t meet or intersect at any point, even at infinity, then
they are parallel to each other.
• Suppose two lines PQ and RS are parallel then it is represented as PQ||RS.
Perpendicular lines
• When two lines meet or intersect at an angle of 90 degrees or at a right angle,
then they are perpendicular to each other.
• If PQ and RS are two lines which are perpendicular to each other, then it is
represented as PQ ⊥ RS.
Intersecting lines
• Two or more lines which share exactly one common point are called intersecting
lines. This common point exists on all these lines and is called the point of
intersection. It is to be noted that:
• The intersecting lines meet at one, and only one point, no matter at what angle they meet.
• No two straight lines can meet at more than one point.
• The lines that meet at more than one point are not straight lines. At least one of them is a
curve.
