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.
