SVG connect two points with a line

Is there any way to connect two point using a line in SVG .I am having the following to create point in SVG.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>

<svg width="200px" height="200px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

  <path d="M10 10"/>

  <!-- Points -->

  <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="2" fill="red"/>
  <circle cx="90" cy="90" r="2" fill="red"/>
  <circle cx="90" cy="10" r="2" fill="red"/>
  <circle cx="10" cy="90" r="2" fill="red"/>

</svg>

I need to draw a line between points using jquery functions.

If you want to allow the user to connect the dots you need to dynamically change the points of the line or path. There are a few ways to do this however it can be done by tracking the start point then updating the line on mouse move. 

var line = $("line");
var svg = $("svg");

var isDown = false;
var startX = 0;
var startY = 0;

$("circle").on("mousedown", function(event){
    isDown = true;
    
    var pOffset = svg.offset();
    startX = event.clientX - pOffset.left,
    startY = event.clientY - pOffset.top;
  
})

$("circle").on("mouseup", function(){
  	isDown = false;
})

svg.on("mousemove", function(event){
  if(isDown){
  
   var pOffset = svg.offset(),
            px = event.clientX - pOffset.left,
            py = event.clientY - pOffset.top;
  
  	line.attr("x1",startX)
    line.attr("x2",px)
    line.attr("y1",startY)
    line.attr("y2",py)
  }
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>

<svg width="200px" height="200px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="10" fill="red"/>
    <circle cx="90" cy="90" r="10" fill="red"/>
    <circle cx="90" cy="10" r="10" fill="red"/>
    <circle cx="10" cy="90" r="10" fill="red"/>

     <line id="line" x1="10" y1="10" x2="90" y2="90" stroke="red" />
  </svg>

You can use a line:

<line x1="10" y1="10" x2="90" y2="90" stroke-width="1" stroke="black"/>

Or a path:

<path d="M10 10 90 90" stroke-width="1" stroke="black"/>

Why do you need jQuery?
