The word line apparently derives from the Latin linum, meaning flax plant from which linen is produced; at one time, a stretched linen thread was the most reliable way to determine a straight line. Also see liner and lining .

The word line can refer to:

a "straight line", in the geometric sense; see line (mathematics);
a queue area;
a line of written, printed or spoken text;
a product line, in marketing;
an obsolete unit of measurement, equal to one-twelfth of an imperial inch;
a circuit (or loop) in electrical engineering;
a telephone line.

Linear equationA linear equation in algebra is an equation which is constructed by equating two linear functions. It may read :3''x + y − 5 −7''x + 4''y + 3. A linear equation is an equation containing only functions that are linear in the variables of inter	Line of scrimmageAmerican football In American and Canadian football the line of scrimmage is the imaginary transverse line crossing the football field across its narrower dimension, which passes through the last position of the football, after the end of the most recent	Line IslandsThe Line Islands are a group of mostly atolls in the central Pacific Ocean, south of the Hawaiian Islands. The Line Islands form the time zone with the latest time in the world: UTC + 14. The time of the day is the same as in Hawai'i, but one day ahead, a
Linear regressionIn statistics, linear regression is a method of estimating the conditional expected value of one variable y given the values of some other variable or variables x''. The variable of interest, y is conventionally called the " dependent variable". The terms	Linear modelIn statistics the linear model can be expressed by saying : where Y is an n 1 column vector of random variables, X is an n ''p matrix of "known" (i. observable and non-random) quanitities, whose rows correspond to statistical units, β is a p 1 vector	Linear ALinear A is an undeciphered script used in ancient Crete.
