Yes, while naming a line segment, as long as the two points are on the line, it does not matter what order they are in or which points they are. well their not

Is line segment AB equals BA?
According to the symmetric property (and common sense) line segmetn AB is congruet to line segment BA since they are the same segment, just with a different name
What is another name for the line segment AB?
Line BA
What is the definition of directed line segments?
we all know, a line segment is a portion of line with two fixed points A and B , but this segment has no specific direction i. e AB and BA are both line segments but if we give direction to this line segment suppose from A to B, then it becomes directed line segment, which is also called as vector AB having direction from A to B.so, a line segment with specific direction is called directed(having direction) line segment.
If ab then ba?
If these are vectors, then ba = - ab
Is a half line ab the same as half line ba?
No. A half line (also called a ray) is a linear object which starts at the first point, and extends to infinity through the second point. So the half-line (or ray) AB starts at point A, and shoots 'through' B and continues past B to infinity. The half-line BA is the other way around: it starts at point B, and then shoots 'through' A and continues past A to infinity. These two half-lines/rays end up extending to infinity in opposite directions, so they are not the same (not congruent).

Is line AB the same of line BA?
yes it is

Is AB the same as BA?
Yes.
How is naming a ray similar or naming a line?
naming a line is different from naming a ray. say for example ,if we have line AB,this is similar to line BA while ray AB is different from ray BA.
it is a portion of a line consisting of two distinc points?
Two distinct points determine exactly one line. That line is the shortest path between the two points. ... Two points also determine a ray, a segment, and a distance, symbolized for points A and B by AB (or BA when B is the endpoint), AB, and AB respectively.
Explain why Ab and Ba are the same line but Cd and Dc are not not the same ray?
Ab and Ba are the same line because there are no endpoints to a line. Therefore, you can reverse the order of the letters. So, Cd and Dc are not the same ray because the first letter is the endpoint. So on ray Cd, point C is the endpoint and d is a point on the line coming from the endpoint. On ray Dc, D is the endpoint.
Is Ray AB the same as Ray BA?
yes
If ab then ba?
If these are vectors, then ba = - ab
Could a segment ba be the same as segment CD?
Yes, but then again it depends on what or where they are!
Is ray AB always the same as ray BA?
Yes, provided it is the ray. If AB is a vector then the answer is no.
