What are the different kinds of lines?

Question

What are the different kinds of lines?

curved lines, straight lines.. is that all?

Answer 1

A line is a series of points that are strung together.

Based on this free form definition, the line theoretically can have infinite combinations.

You can have a curve line, an s-curve line, a multiple curve line, a periodically curved line like a Sine curve, you can have an exponential line, a logarithmic line, a parabolic line, hyperbolic line, elliptical line and circle line, .. etc.

You can even have a messy line, something a child loves to do. Combing with the above, you can have a bold line, a thin line, a variable thickness line, etc.

Throw in colors, you have a yellow line, red line, blue line, green line, purple line and even rainbow-colored line, etc.

Add in a multiple, you can have double line, triple line, broken line, and more.

With all these combinations, there should be infinite number of line types.

Add in the third dimension, you can have a helix line, double helix lines, etc, etc.

Add in the nth dimension ... will let you figure this out.

If between two points, the line has the shortest distance, then it is also a straight line.

Answer 2

There are no curved lines. By definition, a line is straight.

There are three basic kinds of straight "lines", though. First is your line, which continues forever in two directions but is infinately thin. Second is a line segment, which is infinately thin but only connects two endpoints. Third is a ray, which starts at one point, passes throuhg another point, and cntinues forever.

There are also paralell lines, perpendicular lines, etc. but those are more pairs of lines.

Answer 3

Some of the kinds of lines that I know about are:

Parallel lines - these lines never cross each other, EVER

Non-parallel lines - these lines will cross each other at some point

Perpendicular lines - these are special non-parallel lines that cross at right angles (90 degrees) to each other - they look like a cross.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

There r not much types of lines.Infact there are relations b/w any two lines or more.For instance concurrent lines means all points have common intersection point(x) the letter x has two lines which are concurrent
I guess u know whats perpendicular lines and parallel llnes

Answer 5

there are many other

solid, dashed, dotted, or dashed-and-dotted line, curved, straight, diagonal, vertical, horizantical etc

but with some extent you are right that basic there are two types Curved and Straight & all other are properties(styles)

Answer 6

Parallel lines, perpendicular lines, intersecting lines, unique lines, parametric lines, geometric lines, zigzag lines, vertical lines, horizontal lines, diagonal lines, and others.

Answer 7

Curved, straight, grocery, bank, post office, dashed, red, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, cocaine, etc.

Answer 8

parallel,transversal , Perpendicular lines

Answer 9

line segments - lines with both ends fixed like from (3,4) to(2,8)
rays - lines with one end fixed like (3,4) onwards ,sun rays.
lines - with no end fixed , like the number line and the co-ordinate axes

Answer 10

curved, straight, diagonal, horizontal, verticle, backwards, forewards, parabolic, and so on.
