How are a line and a line segment are different?
a line can be indefinitely extended but a line segment is a part. a line segment cannot be extended:)
What is the difference between segment and line?
A segment only goes between 2 fixed points where a line goes on indefinitely
What are the postulate involving points lines and plane?
Euclid's first four postulates are:A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn havibg the segment as radius and one endpoint as centre.All right angles are congruent. He also had the fifth postulate, equivalent to the parallel postulate. There are various equivalent versions.If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side, if extended far enough.The fifth postulate cannot be proven and, in fact, it is now known that it cannot be proven and that there are many internally-consistent geometries in which the negations of this postulate are true.
What is called a line segment extended endlessly in both directions?
A line.
Why you can draw a continuous linear function if you only know two ordered pairs?
A continuous linear function produces a straight line graph that can be extended indefinitely in either direction. If the two ordered pairs are plotted on a graph then a straight line can be drawn joining these points. If that line is extended beyond both ends then there are no set limits and the function becomes continuous.
