\subsection{Attributes of a line} % (fold)
\label{sub:attributes_of_a_line}

Writing \code{L.AB = line:new(z.A,z.B)} creates an object of the class \tkzname{line} (the notation is arbitrary for the moment). Geometrically, it represents both the line passing through the points $A$ and $B$ as the segment $[AB]$. Thus, we can use the midpoint of \code{L.AB}, which is, of course, the midpoint of the segment $[AB]$. This medium is obtained with \code{L.AB.mid}. Note that \code{L.AB.pa = z.A} and \code{L.AB.pb = z.B}. Finally, if a line $L$ is the result of a method, you can obtain the points with \code{z.A, z.B = get\_points(L)} or with the previous remark.

The notation can be \code{L} or \code{L.AB} or \code{L.euler}. The notation is actually free.
\code{L.AB} can also represent the segment. 

With  \code{L.AB  = line:new(z.A,z.B)}, a line is defined.

\subsubsection{Method \Imeth{line}{point(r)} }% (fold)
\label{ssub:method_point}
This method is very useful. It allows you to place a point on the line under consideration.
If |r = 0|  then the point is |pa|, if |r = 1| it's |pb|.

If |r = .5| the point obtained is the midpoint of the segment. |r| can be negative or greater than 1.

This method exists for all objects except quadrilaterals.

In Mathworld, the mediator is the plane through the midpoint of a line segment and perpendicular to that segment, also called a mediating plane. The term "mediator" was introduced by J. Neuberg (Altshiller-Court 1979, p. 298). Here, I have adopted the French term and the mediator or
the perpendicular bisector  of a line segment, is a line segment perpendicular to the segment and passing through the midpoint of this segment.

\subsubsection{Method \Imeth{line}{c\_l\_pp}} % (fold)
\label{ssub:c_l_pp}
Circle tangent to a line passing through two points.

First, consider the general case: a straight line $(AB)$ and two points, $M$ and $N$. We are tasked with finding the circle that is tangent to the line and passes through the two points.

 We will focus on the straight line $(AB)$ and apply a specific method designed for such cases.
The method takes into account the following special cases:

\begin{itemize}
  \item line $(MN)$ is perpendicular to the line $(AB)$;
  \item line $(MN)$ is parallel to line $(AB)$;
  \item these points are on either side of the line $(AB)$;
  \item one of the points lies on the line $(AB)$.
\end{itemize}
