Points, Lines, Line Segments, & Rays

What is a line?

• A line is a curved shape that connects two points.

• A line is straight and extends in both directions forever.

• A line is a solid object with length and width.

• A line is a point that has no dimensions.

Can two lines be parallel and intersecting at the same time?

• Yes, they can be parallel and intersecting.

• No, two lines cannot be parallel and intersecting at the same time.

• Only if they are in different planes.

• It depends on the type of geometry.

What is a transversal line?

• A line that runs parallel to another line.

• A line that crosses two or more other lines.

• A line that is perpendicular to another line.

• A line that connects two points on a graph.

What does it mean for lines to be intersecting?

• Intersecting lines are lines that cross each other at one point.

• Intersecting lines are parallel lines that never meet.

• Intersecting lines are lines that run in the same direction.

• Intersecting lines are lines that are perpendicular to each other.

What is the symbol for a line?

• A straight line with arrows on both ends.

• A dashed line with no arrows.

• A wavy line.

• A dotted line with arrows on one end.

What is a point?

• A point is a specific location in space that has no size or dimension.

• A point is a geometric figure with length and width.

• A point is a unit of measurement in geometry.

• A point is a type of angle formed by two lines.

What is the symbol for a line segment?

• A straight line with endpoints marked.

• A dashed line.

• A curved line.

• A dotted line.

What is a ray?

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

• A ray is a line that has two endpoints.

• A ray is a part of a circle that extends from the center to the circumference.

• A ray is a straight line that connects two points.

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

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

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

• A line is always straight, while a line segment can be curved.

• A line segment is longer than a line.

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

• A ray has two endpoints and extends infinitely in one direction.

• A ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in both directions.

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

• A line segment has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.
