How many points are in a unique line?

Every line and every line segment of >0 length has an inifinite amount of unique points.Socratic Explaination:consider ...- There are 2 distinct points defining a line segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint.- The midpoint divides the original segment into 2 segments of equal length.- There are 2 distinct points used to define each segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint for each segment.- These midpoints divide the segments into smaller segments of equal length.- repeat until throughly beatenThis leads to a description of an infinite amount of points for any given line segment.This does not describe all the points of a line segment. Example: the points 1/3 of the distance from either of the the original 2 points are approached but never hit.Please, feel free to rephrase this explanation. I know it's sloppy.

How do you layout an octagon?

Given that an octogon has eight sides, then the simplest way would be to enscribe a circle. Divide it exactly in half, then divide it in half again, at right angles to your first line.You now have four quarters. Divide each quarter in half, and you will have eight segments. Connect the points of the segments and you will have an octogon.
