Well, darling, that's what we call a "ray". It's like a line that decided to show off and grow a pointy edge on both sides. So, next time you see a line feeling fancy with arrows, just remember it's called a ray.

A line with a dot at one end and an arrow at the other end is called a ray in geometry. A ray has a starting point (the dot) and extends infinitely in one direction (towards the arrow). It is often denoted by naming the starting point and any other point on the ray, such as "ray AB" if A is the starting point and B is another point on the ray. Rays are commonly used in geometric constructions and proofs.
