How many tangent lines could be draw on a straight line?
A tangent line is a line that is parallel to and intersecting a point on a curve, where the limit of the distance between two points on that curve (one of them being the point in question) and those two points also being on that line approaches zero. Since a straight line has only one slope, at all points on the line, then there can only be one tangent line to a straight line, and the tangent line is the same line as the straight line.
Do line segments have to be straight?
Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
How do you explain straight line graphs?
it just a straight line
Are line segments only straight or can they be curved?
If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
What is quaderateral?
A closed geometric figure with four sides, each side being a straight line
What is curved line?
a line that deviates from straightness in a smooth continuous fashion.... it is a line w/ is not straight...
What is limit of proportionality?
It is the point at which the stress-strain graph of a material deviates from being a straight line. It is the point at which a material stops obeying Hooke's Law
How do you define your curves?
curves3rd person singular present, plural of curveNoun:A line or outline that gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of its length.Verb:Form or cause to form a curve.
Can a curved line be a line segment?
No, a line segment is a straight path that connects two points without any curves. A curved line, on the other hand, is not a line segment because it deviates from a straight path.
What is the definition of the term 'curved'?
"Curved" refers to something that deviates from a straight line. It may refer to a bend in the road, a line on a graph, or the trajectory of a baseball.
What is the curvature affect?
In mathematics curvature affects extent to which a shape deviates from being flat, even or straight.
What number of degrees is the International date line at?
The International Date Line (IDL) roughly follows the 180° longitude which is called the 180th meridian or antimeridian.Unlike lines of longitude which are straight lines, the Date Line deviates to pass around some territories and island groups (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc). The Date Line deviates from the straight line of longitude to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.
What is the difference between parabola and curve?
A parabola refers to a symmetrical open plane curve that is formed by the intersection of the cone with a plane that is parallel to its side. The curve on the other hand refers to a line that gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of its length.
Where does the international date line cross through?
It crosses through, and around, a number of islands and a lot of water in the Pacific Ocean. The line deviates from a straight line to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), or New Zealand, and island nation such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.

What is the degree of longitude for the international date line?
The International Date Line (IDL) roughly follows the 180° longitude which is called the 180th meridian or antimeridian.

The Date Line deviates from the straight line of longitude to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.
What is horizontal deflection?
The term horizontal deflection refers to how much something deviates from the horizontal line.
