A line segment, also known as an interval or closed interval, is 2 connected points.

It can be considered as being the solid interior of the 0-dimensional hypersphere, the point pair.

A circle can be made by rotating a line segment around the middle axis.

People often refer to it as a line. A proper line has infinite length. They refer to a line segment when they mean line.

A line segment is actually made of an infinite number of points as the line connecting the two points is made up of an infinite number of points.

### Symbols

The line segment can be given a symbol in two ways:

• x - two equivalent vertices
• oo&#x - two distinct vertices

### Subfacets

• Vertex radius: $1/2l$

### Equations

All points on the surface of a line, a point pair can be given by the equation

$x^2 = l^2/4$

where l is the length of the line segment.

### Vertex coordinates

A line segment of length 2 has the vertex coordinates (±1).

### Notations

• Toratopic notation: $|$
• Tapertopic notation: $1$

### Related shapes

• Dual: self dual
• Vertex figure: Point
