TaigaA line that goes on forever in both directions is a line.
One that starts at one point and continues forever in the other direction is a ray, and one that has two definite ends is a line segment.

Does a line go on forever?
In Euclidean geometry, a line is considered to be infinitely long in both directions, meaning it extends indefinitely in both the positive and negative directions along its path. This concept is based on the definition of a line as a straight path with no endpoints. Therefore, mathematically speaking, a line does go on forever.
What is a straight path that goes on forever in two directions in geometry?
line
Can a line segment also be a line?
No. A line continues forever in both directions. A line segment stops.
What is a series of points that extends infinitely in the opposite directions?
A line (which by definition goes on to infinity in both directions).
What geometric figure looks like the edge of a ruler?
You are probably referring to a line, ray, or a line segment.Each of these figures are straight and are one-dimensional (or 1D).A line goes forever in both directions, and looks like an arrow pointing in 2 opposite directions.A ray goes forever in one direction. It has an arrow pointing in one direction, and in the opposite direction there is a dot, or point, that marks the endpoint.A line segment has two points on either side and does notgo on forever.
