Lines, Line Segments and Rays

A B

A line- is a straight path that has no beginning and continues without end in both directions.

We say line AB or line BA

Lines, Line Segments and Rays

A line segment is part of a line. It has two end points. We say line segment CD or line segment DC

C D

A light beam is a ray.

A ray is a part of a line. It has one end point and continues without end in one direction. We say ray EF.

E F
