If a line had a series of five or six points could the outer two most points be considered a line segment?

"Points" are never considered a line segment. Points are never anything else but points.
But any two points 'determine' a line segment, because there's only one line segment
that can be drawn between them.
So if you have several points on a line, then any two of them determine a segment
of that line.

Why can't a line segment have two points?
Because a line segment means that it does have 2 end points at the end of the line and parallel lines never touch. I could explain more but don't feel like it good luck with that math!!
What is the slope of -4 4 and 0 2?
If those are the x-y coordinates of two points, then they're two points. Two points don't have a slope. In fact, points don't have anything. If we want to play around with two points for a while, one thing we could do with them would be to draw a line segment between them. With these particular two points, the line segment would be about 4.472 long, its slope would be -2, and it would be a piece of the line that intersects the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=4 .
Can 2 angles have 3 points in common?
Yes, 2 angles can have 3 points in common. Two angles of the same number of degrees can be superimposed on each other and would share all points. Or, you could choose 3 points on one line segment, while having two other line segments which do not share points, and which delineate different angles.
Which methods could you use to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoints at (00)and (015)?
The coordinates of the midpoint are the averages of the coordinates of the end points. So (0, 7.5).

How many points does a line segment have?
Infinite! When you speak of a "point" on a line segment, you're referring to infinitely small locations, not physical dots that you might draw on the segment. If you think of a "point" as being located at a certain distance from one of the end points of a 3 inch segment, such as 2.31 inches from the left side, you could always add more and more decimal places to the distance, such as 2.3173... to identify an infinite number of "points" or locations on the segment. A segment has 2 points one at the end and one at the beginning.**The answer as to how many points are on a line segment is "infinite". A given line segment is determined by it's two "end points", but has an infinite set of points between and including these two end points that make up the segment itself.
How could you change a line into a line segment?
Add two end points to the line and label them.

What methods could you use to calculate the x coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of 12 0 and 12 0?
The two points are exactly the same so there is no line segment.
What methods could you use to calculate the x coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of -6 0 and 6 0?
You could use algebra (see below for how to do that), or you could graph the line and measure it.Using algebraThe x-coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the x-coordinates of the end-points. 1/2(-6 + 6) = 0The y-coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the y-coordinates of the end-points.1/2(0 + 0) = 0The midpoint of the given horizontal segment is the origin, (0, 0) .
How is 4 man 30 point league bowling calculated?
There is no specific definition of a 4 man 30 point league system. Points can be earned for a team beating its opponent for each game and series (scratch score, handicap score or both). In some leagues, points can also be earned for a bowler on a team beating their opponent for each game and series (scratch score, handicap score or both). So one league could define their league as earning 30 points by: A team will earn 10 points for winning the handicap game and 10 points for winning the handicap series. Another league could define their rules as: A team will earn 5 points for winning the handicap game and 5 points for winning the handicap series. A team will earn 5 points for winning the scratch game and 5 points for winning the scratch series series. Another league could define their rules as: A team will earn 2 points for winning the handicap game and 10 points for winning the handicap series. A bowler will earn 2 points for winning the handicap game.
Why was Henry III a bad king?
Which Henry III - of France, England or the Holy Roman Empire. Each one had good points and bad points. None could be considered bad.
What is the chord of a circle?
Take any circle and draw a straight line through it anywhere so that the line intersects the circle at two distinct points. The segment between the two points on the circle is the chord. A diameter, that is, a line segment through the center, could be a chord. But any shorter segment drawn through the circle and intersecting the circle at those two distinct points is a chord. It's just that simple. Need a link? You'll find one below.
How could you change a line segment into a ray?

Two circles intersect each other at two points A and B CD and FE are two lines through this points respectively prove that CD equals FE?
That is false. CD could be a short line segment only a few degrees off from the two circles' common chord while EF could be a long line segment going all the way across the diagram.
How does a team earn a free kick for points?
Free kicks don't automatically earn points. Scoring a goal could be considered 1 point, I suppose.
