1. Straight lines: Lines that do not curve or bend, and are the shortest distance between two points.
2. Curved lines: Lines that are not straight and have a continuous bend or curve.
3. Dashed lines: Lines made up of short, evenly spaced dashes, used to indicate hidden or invisible features on a drawing.
4. Dotted lines: Lines made up of evenly spaced dots, used to indicate boundaries, dimensions, or centerlines.
5. Centerlines: Lines that indicate the center of an object or feature, often used for symmetry or alignment purposes.
6. Construction lines: Temporary lines used to help with the layout and design of a drawing, but are not part of the final design.
7. Dimension lines: Lines that indicate the size or distance of an object or feature on a drawing.
8. Extension lines: Lines that extend from the object being dimensioned to the dimension line, used to show where the measurement is being taken.
9. Leader lines: Lines with an arrow or dot at one end, used to point to specific features or dimensions on a drawing.
10. Section lines: Lines used to indicate the material or cross-section of an object, often seen in engineering drawings.

1. Horizontal Lines:
- Parallel to the x-axis
- Equation: y = constant
2. Vertical Lines:
- Parallel to the y-axis
- Equation: x = constant
3. Oblique Lines:
- Neither horizontal nor vertical
- Equation: y = mx + b (where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept)
4. Parallel Lines:
- Have the same slope
- Equations: y = mx + b1 and y = mx + b2 (where m is the common slope, b1 and b2 are the y-intercepts)
5. Perpendicular Lines:
- Have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other
- Equations: y = mx + b1 and y = (-1/m)x + b2 (where m is the slope of the first line, -1/m is the slope of the second line, b1 and b2 are the y-intercepts)
6. Intersecting Lines:
- Have different slopes and intersect at a single point
- Equation: mx + by = c (where m, b, and c are constants)
7. Tangent Lines:
- Touch a curve at a single point
- Equation: y = f(x) + m(x - x1) (where f(x) is the curve, m is the slope of the tangent line, x1 is the x-coordinate of the point of tangency)
8. Secant Lines:
- Intersect a curve at two or more points
- Equation: (y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x - x1)/(x2 - x1) (where x1, x2 are the x-coordinates of the points of intersection, y1, y2 are the corresponding y-coordinates)
9. Asymptotes:
- Lines that a curve approaches but never touches
- Horizontal Asymptote: y = l (where l is a constant)
- Vertical Asymptote: x = k (where k is a constant)
- Parallel to the x-axis
- Equation: y = constant
