The normal scales in which temperature is measured - Fahrenheit or Celsius - are interval scales but not ratio scales. This is because the 0 points are arbitrary. As a consequence, the difference between two fixed temperature cannot be expressed as a fraction.
For example 10 deg C is NOT 10 times as warm as 1 deg C.

A segment only goes between 2 fixed points where a line goes on indefinitely
constant rate means that rate which is fixed and can not be changed. varying rate is that rate which is not fixed and can be change easily.
In an arithmetic series, each term is defined by a fixed value added to the previous term. This fixed value (common difference) may be positive or negative.In a geometric series, each term is defined as a fixed multiple of the previous term. This fixed value (common ratio) may be positive or negative.The common difference or common ratio can, technically, be zero but they result in pointless series.
A static shape has a fixed relationship between all of its vertexes. A dynamic shape can vary the position of at least one of its vertexes in relation to the others.
