If you're looking to animate the extension of a line from point A to between points A and B, my recommendation would be to use a CAShapeLayer for this. CAShapeLayer lets you animate the interpolation between two paths with the same number of control points. For an example of this in action, see Joe Ricioppo's post on the subject.

In your case, you'd start with a path that has two control points, both the same point, and use as the final path one that has a control point at the start of the line and one at the end. The line will then animate out as if it were being drawn in a single brush stroke.
