Line A long, thin mark that continues forever. It has no endpoints.

Line An infinitely long, thin, two-dimensional mark It has no endpoints.

Parallel Lines that are the same distance apart from each other. These type of lines stay the same distance apart for their whole length. They do not need to be straight or the same length. They never intersect.
