What is the difference between a straight line and a line?
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, a line is the delineation of a connection between two or more points.
What is the difference between a ray line and a line segment and a line?
A ray has a single start point, and goes on infinitely in one direction. A line segment has two end points and is finite. A line has no end points and goes on infinitely in two directions.
If three points are given then how do you prove that they are collinear?
0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.
If a segment connecting two points is horizontal you can find the distance between the points by?
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
What is the difference between lines and line segments?
A line goes on forever and never ends, on either side.A line segmentstops and has two end points.
