POINT- it has no lenght, no width and no thickness LINE- it has a lenght but no width and thickness. A line in geometry will always mean a straight line, which extends indifinitely in two opposites directions.. PLANE- it is a flat surface in which any two points are joined by a straight line lying entirely on the surface..
"Collinear" means "on the same straight line".Two points are always collinear, because you can always draw a straight linebetween any two points. Three points may or may not be collinear.
In the context of Euclidean straight lines it would mean parallel lines. In the context of a curve and a line (or another curve) it would mean the line and the curve do not meet at any point, but not a lot more can be deduced about them.
The trajectory of the motion is a straight line.
Hopefully the same thing it means in most other grades of geometry, which is a straight one dimensional object that is infinitely long. It differs from a ray, which has a finite point and extends infinitely from that point in a single direction, and a line segment, which has two finite ends.
It is a straight line that intersects another straight at 90 degrees.

In science, a ray is a straight line in space that originates from a point and extends infinitely in one direction. Rays are used in optics, geometry, and physics to describe the path of light or other particles.

Geodesic means the science of measuring the size and shape of the Earth. A geodesics are straight line on a plane or a great circle arcs on a sphere, pertaining geodesy.
A line segment is a line that has given boundries, while a line goes on forever.
A line segment with end points has a midpoint which is in the middle of it.
By definition, a straight line is the set of all points between and extending beyond two points. In most geometries, a line is a primitive object that does not have formal properties beyond length, its single dimension. The two properties of straight lines in Euclidean geometry are that they have only one dimension, length, and they extend in two directions forever.
It is searching [for something] in a straight line.Perhaps you mean linear extrapolation? That is when the extrapolation assumes that the function is a straight line.
