How do you create line segments between two points in Matplotlib?

To create line segments between two points in matplotlib, we can take the following steps

Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
To make two points, create two lists.
Extract x and y values from point1 and point2.
Plot x and y values using plot() method.
Place text for both the points.
To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
point1 = [1, 2]
point2 = [3, 4]
x_values = [point1[0], point2[0]]
y_values = [point1[1], point2[1]]
plt.plot(x_values, y_values, 'bo', linestyle="--")
plt.text(point1[0]-0.015, point1[1]+0.25, "Point1")
plt.text(point2[0]-0.050, point2[1]-0.25, "Point2")
plt.show()
