Can rays ever be parallel lines?
Rays aren't really lines, since (Euclidean) lines extend infinitely in all directions, so they can't be parallel lines. But that's to fret a bit too much over the wording. Yes, rays, just like lines and line segments, can be parallel to other rays, lines, or line segments.
How are line segments and lines and rays similar?
it dont have similarity
What are number lines used for?
Plotting points. Graphing lines, line segments, rays, etc.
Can a figure be both a line and ray?
no because lines have arows on each end rays dont
What are lines line segments and rays?
The three differ in their extent. Lines are infinite in both directions. Line segments are finite: they have two well defined end-points. Rays are finite in one direction, infinite in the other: it has one end-point and stretches to infinity in the other direction.

What is it called when lines line segments or rays meet at a point?
Tangent.
What type of lines are in math?
Parallel lines--will never touch Perpendicular lines--cross at right angles Rays--lines that start at a point and extend into infinity Line segment--a line between two points Line--a line that runs forever in either direction
In what branch of math do you learn about rays points chords and line segments?
Geometry teaches points, lines, rays, chords and segments.
What does the sun's rays shine in a straight line?
the travel in straight lines because of the atomsphe
What is the symbol for skew lines?
it is a line, and two non connected rays to the first line. Like an x but erase the base of one line. -/-
What are rays and lines?
In math terms:A ray is a line with one endpoint, never ending.-------->A line is like a ray, but with no endpoints.
