No. Technically, a "line" has no ends, and goes on forever in both directions. A "line segment" has two end points, and a definite length.
They have a starting point, end point, definite length, they connect 2 points, they have a definite slope, they do not always have a y- intersect or x- intersect.
line segments have two definite points, A and B, a ray has has only one definite point and the over indefinite point is a continuous line
By definition the radius of a circle is a straight line drawn from the centre of a circle to its circumference. If you extend that line to the opposite side of the circle it becomes the diameter. The length of the diameter is twice the length of the radius. If the radius is 1316 the diameter is 2632
