What is a segment

The video tutorial explains the concept of lines in geometry, describing them as straight paths that extend infinitely without thickness and are made up of infinite points. It then introduces line segments, which are portions of lines between two points, and explains how to label them differently from lines by using a straight line on top instead of arrows. The tutorial emphasizes the difference between lines and line segments in terms of measurement and labeling.

What is a line defined as in geometry?

• A path with a fixed number of points

• A curved path with no thickness

• A straight path that extends infinitely

• A path with a definite start and end

How many points are needed to define a line?

• Infinite

• Three

• Two

• One

What is a line segment?

• A portion of a line between two points

• A line that extends infinitely

• A line with a fixed number of points

• A curved line with endpoints

How is a line segment labeled differently from a line?

• With arrows on both ends

• With a straight line over the points

• With a curved line over the points

• With a dot at each end

When labeling a line segment, does the order of points matter?

• Yes, it must be alphabetical

• No, the order does not matter

• Yes, it must be in the order they are drawn

• No, but it must start with the first point
