A line segment.
line segment
A line segment is a piece of a line with endpoints at both ends. This can exist on a coordinate plane, which is a pointed selection at an origin.
Any piece of a line has an infinite number of points on it, whether it's straight or curved. A line segment is a section of a line bounded by two endpoints. A line is continuous, but a line segment, is a segment of a line.
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.

No. A segment is a piece of something, and therefore finite.

Any piece of straight line with two ends.
A line segment is a line that has boundaries. It's a straight line that links two points and does not extend beyond them. A line segment is most commonly used in Geometry. The term 'segment' means a portion of, or a part of. A line segment can be any portion of an existing line, and can be either a piece at one end of the line, or a piece within the length of the line. A circle segment can be either a pie shaped portion of the entire area of the circle, or a portion of the perimeter (circumference) of the circle . The latter should be expressed as a circumferential portion, to avoid confusion.
None of them since a thread has a finite length and finite width. A point has neither length nor width whereas a line, line segment and ray do not have any width. A plane has infinite length and width. The nearest approximation is a line segment.

A line is basically a combination of two joined rays pointing in opposite directions. A line has no endpoints and a line segment has two. <--------------> line ---------------> or <------------ ray .________. line segment (It's supposed to be a line with dots at the end to signify endpoint)
-- Draw a line segment . . . a piece of a line, with ends. Leave enough roomat each end of the drawing for an upper-case character.-- Select one end of the line segment in the drawing. Near that end, write ' A ' .-- Near the other end of the segment, write ' B '.
