It will have end points to be a distinct line segment

The geometric term for the edge of a desk is a "line segment." In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints. In this case, the edge of the desk can be represented as a line segment where the two endpoints are where the edge begins and ends.
Every line and every line segment of >0 length has an inifinite amount of unique points.Socratic Explaination:consider ...- There are 2 distinct points defining a line segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint.- The midpoint divides the original segment into 2 segments of equal length.- There are 2 distinct points used to define each segment.- Between these 2 distinct points, there is a midpoint for each segment.- These midpoints divide the segments into smaller segments of equal length.- repeat until throughly beatenThis leads to a description of an infinite amount of points for any given line segment.This does not describe all the points of a line segment. Example: the points 1/3 of the distance from either of the the original 2 points are approached but never hit.Please, feel free to rephrase this explanation. I know it's sloppy.
line segment
a line can be indefinitely extended but a line segment is a part. a line segment cannot be extended:)
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
