MODULE 2

INTRODUCTION:
Euclid​ described a line as "breadthless length" which "lies equally concerning the points
on itself"; he introduced several ​postulates​ as basic unprovable properties from which
he constructed all of the geometry, which is now called ​Euclidean geometry​ to avoid
confusion with other geometries which have been introduced since the end of the 19th
century (such as ​non-Euclidean​, ​projective​ and ​affine geometry​).
In modern mathematics, given the multitude of geometries, the concept of a line is
closely tied to the way the geometry is described. For instance, in ​analytic geometry​, a
line in the plane is often defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a
given ​linear equation​, but in a more abstract setting, such as ​incidence geometry​, a line
may be an independent object, distinct from the set of points which lie on it.
