Lines
A line is made by connecting two points. It can go in any direction, but it must be straight.
A line does not end so arrows are put at both ends to show that the line goes on into infinity in
both directions
A drawing of a line looks like this:
A
It has two names,
B
AB & BA
Line Segments
A line segment is a piece or a part of a line.
It ends and has points at each end, so I can measure it.
A drawing of a line segment looks like this:
C
D
It has two names, CD & DC
Rays
A ray is part line and part line segment.
It starts in an end point and goes on into infinity at the other end.
A drawing of a ray looks like this:
E
F
It has only one name, EF, because its name must begin with its starting point.
