Direction (geometry)

Property shared by codirectional lines

In geometry, direction, also known as spatial direction, vector direction or relative direction, is the common characteristic of all rays which coincide when translated to share a common endpoint; equivalently, it is the common characteristic of vectors (such as the relative position between a pair of points) which can be made equal by scaling (by some positive scalar multiplier). Two vectors sharing the same direction are said to be codirectional or equidirectional. All codirectional line segments sharing the same size (length) are said to be equipollent.
