What does mid point mean in geometry?

It is the mid-point of a line segment that has end points


Does a line always mean a straight line in geometry?

yeah


What does line mean in 6th grade geometry?

Hopefully the same thing it means in most other grades of geometry, which is a straight one dimensional object that is infinitely long. It differs from a ray, which has a finite point and extends infinitely from that point in a single direction, and a line segment, which has two finite ends.


What does parallel line segment mean?

A parallel line segment are two lines with two ending points and are in a straight line that can never touch.

Does a line go forever?

A "line" does. A "line segment" does not. Most people interpret "line" to mean "line segment" (without realising it) and so would conclude that a line does not go on forever. A "line segment" is a line between two points, which is what you would draw if told to draw a "line" on a piece of paper.
