Abstract: Let $L_{a,b}$ be a line in the Euclidean plane with slope $a$ and intercept $b$. The dimension spectrum $spec(L_{a,b})$ is the set of all effective dimensions of individual points on $L_{a,b}$. The dimension spectrum conjecture states that, for every line $L_{a,b}$, the spectrum of $L_{a,b}$ contains a unit interval. In this paper we prove that the dimension spectrum conjecture is true. Let $(a,b)$ be a slope-intercept pair, and let $d=mindim(a,b),1$. For every $sin(0,1)$, we construct a point $x$ such that $dim(x,ax+b)=d+s$. Thus, we show that $spec(L_{a,b})$ contains the interval $(d,1+d)$. Results of Turetsky , and Lutz and Stull, show that $spec(L_{a,b})$ contain the endpoints $d$ and $1+d$. Taken together, $[d,1+d]subseteqspec(L_{a,b})$, for every planar line $L_{a,b}$.
