A straight or curved line truncated at one point.
No. A ray has one endpoint and extends into infinity from that point.
A line is a one-dimensional set of points that extends to infinity in both directions (so it has no endpoint). A ray is a line that goes to infinity in only one direction and has one endpoint. A line segment is a line with two endpoints (so it does not go to infinity).
They are alike because a ray is part of a line, a segment is part of a line, and a line is basically a line. They are different because a segment has two end points; a ray has one, and a line is a group of points on a straight path that extends to infinity like a ray extends to infinity in one direction
It is a ray.
A ray has one fixed point, which is its endpoint. This is the point from which the ray extends infinitely in one direction. The other side of the ray continues indefinitely, so it does not have a fixed point on that end.
No. A ray has one endpoint and extends into infinity from that point.
a half-line with a designated end point which extends in only one direction without stopping
The set of points on a straight curve that extends to infinity in both directions is a line. A ray is the set of points that lie on a straight curve that is terminated at a point, and continues to infinity. It is also called a half-line. If the set is terminated at a point at both ends, then it is a line segment.

One-dimensional example: A semi-infinite medium is a medium that extends to infinity in one direction but has an end in the other direction
A line is a one-dimensional set of points that extends to infinity in both directions (so it has no endpoint). A ray is a line that goes to infinity in only one direction and has one endpoint. A line segment is a line with two endpoints (so it does not go to infinity).

In geometry, a ray is a line segment that extends from one point to infinity, and angle is the measure between two intersecting lines, rays, or line segments.

This is called a ray.
