Answer: a line is defined as something that extends infinitely in either direction But has no width and is one dimensional. A plane extends infinitely in two dimensions.

Answer:

A line is the shortest distance(length) between any two points on a plane. A point is 0 dimensional, therefore static (no breath. length or height). A plane is a two-dimensional flat surface(length and breath) that is indefinitely large with zero thickness.
