A line scale is a long line with regularly interval numbers. They are usually used on maps to show distance. They can have different scales (km, cm, in) and compare distances. For example, if you have a map of Canada in a textbook, a line scale in the bottom mights show that every five cm on a page represents 700km on the map.
