A straight line equation can be in the form of y = 3x+5 whereas 3 is the slope and 5 is the y intercept

In coordinated geometry the points on a straight line will determine its equation.

The question is awefully vague, but if you mean "is there Geometry in Baseball?", then i would have to say yes. To calculate where one most be to catch a ball becomes a subconcious geometric equation. One must watch the Parabala of the ball to see where it will land. Also, calculating the angle at which to swing (geometry) is very important to hitting the ball far and well. These are only to examples, but yes, geometry is very commonly used in baseball. ~mike
In the context of geometry, related to a line. In an algebraic context, an equation or expression where each of the unknown variables appears with a power of 1. If there are n variables, then such an equation, plotted in n-dimensional coordinate space would be a straight line.
