A '''line''' is a concept in [[Euclidean geometry]] that has [[length]] but no [[breadth]] or [[depth]]. A line is made up of an [[infinite]] number of [[point (geometry)|points]]. Lines in Euclidean geometry are by definition straight, meaning that they define the shortest route between two points on the line. Curved lines are called [[curve]]s.
