The numerical value of the eccentricity ( e ) of an ellipse measures how much it deviates from being circular, ranging from 0 (a circle) to just under 1 (a straight line). As the shape of the ellipse becomes more elongated, approaching a straight line, ( e ) increases and approaches 1. In the limit, as the ellipse becomes a straight line, its eccentricity reaches 1, indicating maximum elongation. Thus, the value of ( e \ continuously increases from 0 to 1 as the ellipse transforms into a straight line.
A tangent line is a line that is parallel to and intersecting a point on a curve, where the limit of the distance between two points on that curve (one of them being the point in question) and those two points also being on that line approaches zero. Since a straight line has only one slope, at all points on the line, then there can only be one tangent line to a straight line, and the tangent line is the same line as the straight line.
Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
it just a straight line
If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
a line that deviates from straightness in a smooth continuous fashion.... it is a line w/ is not straight...
It is the point at which the stress-strain graph of a material deviates from being a straight line. It is the point at which a material stops obeying Hooke's Law
curves3rd person singular present, plural of curveNoun:A line or outline that gradually deviates from being straight for some or all of its length.Verb:Form or cause to form a curve.
No it can't because a line segment is a line that is straight. So it is not a line segment.
"Curved" refers to something that deviates from a straight line. It may refer to a bend in the road, a line on a graph, or the trajectory of a baseball.
In mathematics curvature affects extent to which a shape deviates from being flat, even or straight.
Curvature :act of curving, state of being curved; measure of the degree of a curve in a line. Curve:line that is not straight, continuously bending line; bend, turn (in a road) Reference: babylon Dictionary
The International Date Line (IDL) roughly follows the 180° longitude which is called the 180th meridian or antimeridian.Unlike lines of longitude which are straight lines, the Date Line deviates to pass around some territories and island groups (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc). The Date Line deviates from the straight line of longitude to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.
It crosses through, and around, a number of islands and a lot of water in the Pacific Ocean. The line deviates from a straight line to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), or New Zealand, and island nation such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands.

The term horizontal deflection refers to how much something deviates from the horizontal line.
