Front

What is a ray?

Back

Part of a line. It has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A part of a line that has two endpoints.

Front

What does perpendicular mean?

Back

When two lines intersect to form a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

What is an angle?

Back

Formed by two rays that share a common endpoint.

Front

What is a vertex?

Back

The point where two lines or rays meet to form an angle.

Front

How do you identify perpendicular lines?

Back

Look for lines that intersect at a right angle.

Front

What is the difference between a line and a line segment?

Back

A line extends infinitely in both directions, while a line segment has two endpoints.

Front

Can a ray be part of a line?

Back

Yes, a ray is part of a line that has one endpoint.

Front

What is the symbol for a line?

Back

A line is often represented by a straight line with arrows on both ends.
