Abstract
We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a geodesic line on a nondegenerate hypersurface to be a plane curve. We deduce a formula for the affine curvature of a plane geodesic line on the affine hypersurface in terms of the affine fundamental form and the shape operator. The definition of transverse curvature is presented and some of its elementary properties are determined.
