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.
Yes, both a ray and a line go on forever, but unlike a line, and like a line segment, a ray has an endpoint.
the type that go on forever are just called lines but the ones that end are segments
The difference is that lines go on forever and line segments start at a certain point and ends at a certain point.
A 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.
no. A segment is a line with end points. Rays start in one place and go on forever.
Yes, both a ray and a line go on forever, but unlike a line, and like a line segment, a ray has an endpoint.
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
yes forever and ever never stops
Forever.
No. Line segments end at the endpoints.
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.
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
the type that go on forever are just called lines but the ones that end are segments
yes
No, just the opposite: A line segment has two end points. The word line is usually used to refer to a line segment, but by the mathematical definition, a line extends forever in both directions. (A line that has one end point and extends forever in one direction is called a ray.)
Arcs are line segments because they do not go on forever. They only go part of the way around a circle
lines go forever in both directions rays start at a specific point and go forever in only one direction
