The distance between two points.

No. The distance between points is not the line.


The definition of a line depends on the context, because mathematicians have developed geometries other than the familiar Euclidean geometry.


The classic definition of a line would be a geometric object that is an infinitely long straight path that has no thickness. In coordinate geometry, a line is defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a linear equation.
