        A projection involves taking the two points that define
        the linear entity and projecting those points onto a
        Line and then reforming the linear entity using these
        projections.
        A point P is projected onto a line L by finding the point
        on L that is closest to P. This point is the intersection
        of L and the line perpendicular to L that passes through P.

    A 2D line is declared with two distinct points, point and slope, or

    Parameters
    ==========

    p1 : Point
    p2 : Point
    slope : SymPy expression
    direction_ratio : list
    equation : equation of a line

    Notes
    =====

    `Line` will automatically subclass to `Line2D` or `Line3D` based
    on the dimension of `p1`.  The `slope` argument is only relevant
    for `Line2D` and the `direction_ratio` argument is only relevant
    for `Line3D`.

    The order of the points will define the direction of the line
    which is used when calculating the angle between lines.
