Exploring Lines, Line Segments, and Rays

What is a line in mathematics?

• A straight path with two endpoints

• A straight path with one endpoint and one arrow

• A straight path with two arrows

• A curved path with two arrows

How can you identify a line segment?

• It has two endpoints

• It has no endpoints or arrows

• It has one arrow and one endpoint

• It has two arrows

What do two arrows on a straight path indicate?

• It is a curve

• It is a line

• It is a ray

• It is a line segment

What does a line segment have at its ends?

• No endpoints or arrows

• Two endpoints

• One arrow and one endpoint

• Two arrows

How do you know if a path is a line segment?

• It has one arrow and one endpoint

• It has two endpoints

• It has no arrows or endpoints

• It has two arrows

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

• A line has two endpoints, a line segment has two arrows

• A line has no arrows or endpoints, a line segment has two arrows

• A line has two arrows, a line segment has two endpoints

• A line has one arrow and one endpoint, a line segment has two arrows

What is a key characteristic of a ray?

• It has no arrows or endpoints

• It has two arrows

• It has one arrow and one endpoint

• It has two endpoints

Which of the following best describes a ray?

• A straight path with two endpoints

• A straight path with two arrows

• A curved path with one arrow and one endpoint

• A straight path with one arrow and one endpoint

What does a ray have on one end?

• An endpoint

• An arrow

• Nothing

• Both an arrow and an endpoint

What is the trick to identify if you are looking at a line, line segment, or ray?

• Count the number of curves

• Count the arrows and endpoints

• Measure the length

• Check the color
