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).
If a line has a starting point but no end point?
then it is not a line it is a ray. line go on and on without stopping in both directions.
What do you call a line with an arrow on each end?
A line with a point at each end is known as a segment. A line with an arrow on each end, however, is known simply as a line.
What is the subset of a line?
The line, itself, is a subset (though not a proper subset). A ray is a subset of a line with one end-point which extends in only one direction. A line segment is a subset of a line with two end points. A point is a subset of a line.
What is a point equal distance from the end points of a line?
The point that is equal distance from the endpoints of a line segment is the midpoint.
What part of a line can be named by its end point?
A point on the line.
What Is part of a line and has two end point?
A line segment!.
What is a part of a line that has one end point?
a ray
What is a line segmet?
a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by 2 end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points
Does an endpoint go on forever in geometry?
the part with the end point does not, it stops at the end point. But if there is only one end point on a line, the other end does go on forever
A part of a line that has one end point and goes forever?
a Ray.
What is a part of a line having one end point called?
Ray
What is the definition of a line segment?
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points.
Is a ray part of a line line?
Yes, because a ray is a line with an end point. It goes on forever in one direction.
Can line segments have holes or missing pieces?
No it cannot because a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points, and contains every point on the line between its end points. If it has holes it does not contain every point between the end points.
What is a ray in math terms?
A ray in math is a part of a line that has one end point
What is a part of a line that extends from one end point to one direction infinitely?
ray
