It is unclear without knowing if we are looking at a side view or top 
view. The sentence only describes a line not a plane. The only plane 
that makes sense would be the film plane or sensor which is 
perpendicular to the line connecting the camera & subject. Or maybe it's 
the plane that meets the horizon? No way to know.

This next part seems unrelated but suggests it's a discussion of the 
line connecting the camera & subject:
