By the geometric definition of a line, it is represented by two points, and all points on the line are collinear, between or extrapolating to infinity from the straight line made by the two points. In other words, a line is straight, and can be represented by a binomial function (example: y=2x+1). A parabola is a function, but cannot be described mathematically as a line.
