Is a segment on infinitive set of points?
No, but is an infinite set of points.
Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?
An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.
What is the infinite set of points that is straight and terminates at its end points?
An infinite set can not terminate.
How many points does 78 segments have?
Any line segment, no matter how short it is, has an infinite number of points.
Can a plane consist of an infinite set of points?
In ordinary geometry (as opposed to affine geometry), a plane MUST consist of an infinite set of points.

What is a portion of a line that includes two points and all of the collinear points between the two points?
'Line Segment' is a portion of a line that includes two points and all of the collinear points between the hypothetical two points also 'Line Segment' because a line or line segment is a set of infinite points and the infinite points are collinear....
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.
Is a ray line segment or line longer?
Let's think of a line segment as a finite set of points. Along those lines, (pun intended) think of a ray and a line as infinite sets of points. Then we think of longer in terms of the size of the set. So for example, a 2 inch line segment would be longer than a 1 inch line segment because we can have more points in the set which is made of the two inch segment. The ray and the line are the same size since they both can be viewed as sets containing an infinite number of points. The line segment being a finite set is smaller than the other two.
What is the infinite set of points that is straight and terminates at its end points?
An infinite set can not terminate.
Is the set of points in a line finite or infinite?
Infinite.
How many points may a line contain?
A line, ray, or line segment contains an infinite number of points.
How many points does 78 segments have?
Any line segment, no matter how short it is, has an infinite number of points.
Can a plane consist of an infinite set of points?
In ordinary geometry (as opposed to affine geometry), a plane MUST consist of an infinite set of points.
What is a line segment a set of?
It is a set if infinitely many points.
A set of points between two endpoints?
A line segment is a set of points between the two main end points. A line segment is always connected and has no open spaces.
