Is a line a convex set?

$\begingroup$

I was thinking about whether a $\textbf{line}$ is a convex set.

My intuition is as follows:

A set is convex if it includes all convex combinations of points in the set. Or in other words, if it contains all line segment joining any two points in the set.

Thus, a line is a convex set.

Am I right?
