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.

How are line segments and lines and rays similar?
it dont have similarity
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.
What are number lines used for?
Plotting points. Graphing lines, line segments, rays, etc.
What are lines line segements and rays?
lines go infinitely in both directions of the line line segments are just a part of the lines rays start at one point and go off into the other direction infinitely
What are the different lines in geometry called?
segments, lines, and rays.

In what branch of math do you learn about rays points chords and line segments?
Geometry teaches points, lines, rays, chords and segments.
What is it called when lines line segments or rays meet at a point?
Tangent.

Coplanar segments definition?
A set of points, lines, line segments, rays or any other geometrical shapes that lie on the same plane.

segments, lines, and rays.
Can parallel lines be line segments?
They can not be line segments on the same line, but they can both be line segments.
What are the subsets of lines?
the subsets of a line are the segments the rays and the points hope this will help pls mark good
What is a line and or line segment that are exactly the same distance apart?
Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.Parallel lines or line segments.
