What is a ray in geometry?

• A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.

• A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in both directions.

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

• A ray has two endpoints and extends infinitely, while a line segment has one endpoint and a definite length.

• A ray has two endpoints and a definite length, while a line segment has one endpoint and extends infinitely.

• A ray and a line segment are the same thing, just called by different names.
