Any line that is drawn or printed is a real life approximation.

A line is an abstract geometric concept which has a length but no thickness. A line segment is of finite length. Since it is impossible to draw an infinitely long line, whatever is drawn is a segment. However, it is an approximation because at the microscopic, or submicroscopic level, it is impossible for it to have no thickness at all.
