A line is a group of points on a straight path that extends to infinity on both sides and is represented by a straight line with arrows on both sides.
A line segment is PART OF A LINE that has two endpoints and does not keep on extending. It is represented by a straight line with two points at both ends.
A ray is also a PART OF A LINE that has one end point and one end that keeps on extending infinitely. It is represented by a straight line with a point at one end and an arrow on the other.

line: it goes on for infinity. <---------> line segment: has 2 endpoints, does not continue. -------- ray: starts at one point, then goes on for infinity. --------->
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.
A segment has 2 endpoints. A ray has only 1 endpoint, where the other end is an infinite line.
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
