What is a Line?

A Line in two dimensional plane is the infinite extension of the line segment joining two arbitrary points, in both directions. In a Line for any two arbitrary points, the ratio of difference of y coordinates to the difference of x coordinates in a specific order is a constant value. That value is called the slope of that Line. Every Line has a slope, which can be any real number - positive or negative or zero.
