I recently noticed a thin, skin-colored line on a mole that was not there two weeks ago. it is barely noticeable though. is it very likely cancer?

Yu need a medical ex: Only a physician's examination can help to determine if your mole is benign or could be cancerous. So get it checked out from your doctor. In the meantime, read up about the "ABCD " of Melanoma which may help you to determine if it is more like a benign mole or suspicious for melanoma. tell us the size of the mole(Unless it is about 1Cm and increasing in size, it is unlikely to be melanoma).
