A line has one dimension.

You can figure out how many dimensions a shape has by asking yourself how many coordinates you need to find a point within that shape. The points on a line can be described by just one number each, so it has one dimension. The points on a plane need two numbers to describe them (x and y coordinates), so a plane has two dimensions.

A line segment is one-dimensional because it only extends along a straight line with no width or depth.
