Understanding Lines, Rays, and Angles

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

• A line is curved, while a line segment is straight.

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

• A line is always horizontal, while a line segment can be in any direction.

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

How is a ray different from a line?

• A ray is always longer than a line.

• A ray is always shorter than a line.

• A ray extends infinitely in one direction, while a line extends in both directions.

• A ray has two endpoints, while a line has one.

What is the vertex of an angle?

• The midpoint of a line segment.

• The point where two lines intersect.

• The point where two rays or line segments meet.

• The endpoint of a ray.
