A "line" does.
A "line segment" does not.
Most people interpret "line" to mean "line segment" (without realising it) and so would conclude that a line does not go on forever.
A "line segment" is a line between two points, which is what you would draw if told to draw a "line" on a piece of paper.

Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
Do Line segments go on forever?
No. Line segments end at the endpoints.
Do parallel lines go on forever?
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
Can a ray start at one point on a line and go on forever?
yes
What is the difference between a line and a ray?
lines go forever in both directions rays start at a specific point and go forever in only one direction
Does a line go on forever?
Yes, a line goes on forever. It has no ending point.
Does a ray go on forever?
Yes, both a ray and a line go on forever, but unlike a line, and like a line segment, a ray has an endpoint.

Can a line go forever?
yes forever and ever never stops
How far can a straight line go?
Forever.
Do Line segments go on forever?
No. Line segments end at the endpoints.
Do parallel lines go on forever?
No, But 1 Dimensional Does. The lines may or may not go on forever but that has no effect on whether or not a parallel line will cross.
What type of line goes on forever?
the type that go on forever are just called lines but the ones that end are segments
Can a ray start at one point on a line and go on forever?
yes
Does a line segment go forever?
No, just the opposite: A line segment has two end points. The word line is usually used to refer to a line segment, but by the mathematical definition, a line extends forever in both directions. (A line that has one end point and extends forever in one direction is called a ray.)
How are are arcs line segments?
Arcs are line segments because they do not go on forever. They only go part of the way around a circle
What is the difference between a line and a ray?
lines go forever in both directions rays start at a specific point and go forever in only one direction
