Distance is the scalar quantity which does not have any direction but the displacement is the both the distance and direction. Hence displacement is the vector quantity. So the answer for the above question is DISPLACEMENT
That is considered a segment since lines are continuous in both directions, and rays are continuous in one direction.
For any line, there needs to be two points. If the line passes through points and extends in both directions forever, it's a line. If the line just goes between the two points, its called a line segment. If the line goes through both points but only extends in one direction, it's a ray.

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.
That's the definition of a "line".
The term you are looking for is "line." In geometry, a line is a one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions. It is composed of an infinite number of points and has no endpoints.

That would be a line.
straight line
The vector quantity that defines the distance and direction between two positions is displacement. Displacement is a vector because it has both magnitude (distance) and direction. It is the shortest path between two points in a straight line.
For any line, there needs to be two points. If the line passes through points and extends in both directions forever, it's a line. If the line just goes between the two points, its called a line segment. If the line goes through both points but only extends in one direction, it's a ray.
