Yes, while naming a line segment, as long as the two points are on the line, it does not matter what order they are in or which points they are. well their not

According to the symmetric property (and common sense) line segmetn AB is congruet to line segment BA since they are the same segment, just with a different name
Line BA
we all know, a line segment is a portion of line with two fixed points A and B , but this segment has no specific direction i. e AB and BA are both line segments but if we give direction to this line segment suppose from A to B, then it becomes directed line segment, which is also called as vector AB having direction from A to B.so, a line segment with specific direction is called directed(having direction) line segment.
If these are vectors, then ba = - ab
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).
