Use a Line to describe a linear relationship between two quantities. It has constant Slope. Unless the slope is zero, it has one root. It inherits from Polynomial and provides specialized implementation for most methods.

A line can be defined in many ways. The Line constructor is overloaded to reflect this.

A Line curve has two parameters: the Y-value where it crosses the Y-axis, and the slope of the line.

The ValueAt(Double) method returns the value of the curve at a specific point. SlopeAt(Double) returns the constant slope of the Line. Integral(Double, Double) evaluates the definite integral over a specified interval.

A Line curve is returned by the GetDerivative()()() method of the Quadratic class.
