Which of the following is described below?
This object goes forever in opposite
directions. It is infinitely skinny, as it is a
set of points that are all lined up.
A. Point
B. Line
C. Ray
D. Segment
Roughly, we can say that a line is an infinitely thin, infinitely long collection of points extending in two opposite directions. A point is a dot that marks a location. A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line. A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction. You cannot measure the length of a ray.
A line would fit this description best. A ray wouldnt work because it goes on infinitely in one direction. A point wouldnt work because it is a dot that marks a location, and a segment is bound by 2 points, and cannot go on forever.
