What is a collection of points along a straight path extending endlessly in both directions?
straight line
Is a line segment a endless in both directions?
No. A segment is a piece of something, and therefore finite.
Can parallel lines be a different size but still be parallel?
Yes; but in math, if you talk about "lines", that means one that stretches infinitely in both directions. If you are talking about limited-length "lines", those are called "segments".Yes; but in math, if you talk about "lines", that means one that stretches infinitely in both directions.

Does a line go on forever?
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.
What is a series of points that extends infinitely in the opposite directions?
A line (which by definition goes on to infinity in both directions).
