GMT - line or segment

Overview
Important

A line in geometry is the set of all points extending in both directions without end, usually defined by two distinct points. A line segment is the set of all points between (and including) two endpoints.

Important properties

  • A line has infinite length and no endpoints.

  • A line segment has two endpoints and finite length.

  • Any two distinct points determine exactly one line.

  • A segment is a subset of a line.
