Description

Lines are foundational elements in geometry, crucial for defining shapes and figures. They represent abstractions of distance with no curvature and play a vital role in coordinate systems used extensively throughout mathematics, art, design, and engineering. They can intersect, be parallel, or be perpendicular – giving rise to various geometric principles taught at all levels of education, demonstrating fundamental relations that exist within different geometrical constructs.
