Can the order of points affect the name of a line?

• Yes, always

• Only sometimes

• No, never

• Only if the line is curved

• An arrow

• A dash

• A dot

Which points could be used to name a line that includes points C, D, and E?

• Points D and E

• Points C and E

• Any two of the three points
