Dear Azain Ahmed,

Line of Flow is the line/path that is taken by a particle/matter in a liquid which is flowing. The tangent at any point gives the direction of motion of that particle at that point.

In steady flow,all the particles passing through a given point follow the same path and hence a unique line of flow. This line or path is called streamlined.

 

Hope this helped you immensely...!!

All the Very Best & Good Luck to you ..!!
