How Do Points Create Lines?

[roger]

Can anyone tell me how a point can make up a line if the point is zero dimensional and the line is one dimensional ?

Thanks.

You need at least two points to define a line..

: Sure, I'd be happy to explain. While a point is technically considered zero-dimensional, it can still be thought of as a location in space. When multiple points are connected, they form a line, which is one-dimensional because it has length but no width or depth. So, even though a point may not have any dimensions, it can still be used as a building block to create a line. Think of it like connecting dots on a piece of paper to create a line. Each dot is a point, but together they form a continuous line. Hope that helps!
