What else can I help you with?
Does a line go forever in only one direction?
This is all a matter of labels ... what certain words mean.-- "Line" means it has no ends, and goes on forever in both directions.-- "Ray" means it has one end. It goes on forever in one direction.-- "Line segment" means it has two ends, and a definite length.
What is a straight path of points that goes on forever in each direction?
A ray is a straight path of points that goes on forever in only one direction. A line would go on forever in two directions.
What is the difference between a line and a ray?
lines go forever in both directions rays start at a specific point and go forever in only one direction
Does a line segment go forever?
No, just the opposite: A line segment has two end points. The word line is usually used to refer to a line segment, but by the mathematical definition, a line extends forever in both directions. (A line that has one end point and extends forever in one direction is called a ray.)
What has an end point or a starting point and can go on from there in one direction?
a line. starting from one point and going on as long as it needs to go on. or it could go on forever. it needs a start and a finish...
What direction has one endpoint and goes on forever?
Honestly a ray does because a ray has one endpoint and it does go in one direction like forever
Can a ray start at one point on a line and go on forever?
yes
Does a ray go on and on in two directions?
NO it does not, a ray extends from one point and goes on forever in ONLY ONE direction.
Does a ray go on forever?
Yes, both a ray and a line go on forever, but unlike a line, and like a line segment, a ray has an endpoint.
What is the greatest number of intersections that can occur between two lines?
Well...lines go in one direction forever,but LINE SEGMENTS are a whole different story.With line segments you can make as much intersections as you want but with lines,only 1.
What are examples of rays?
A ray ends from one point and goes on forever in one direction. .------------------------> Except the point is connected to the line. It sort of looks like that Examples of real life rays are rare, because how many things start at one point and go on forever? Rays are used primarily for mathematical purposes.
Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
