a line has a dot on each end and a ray only has one dot and an arrow, it keeps on going.
A line extends infinitely in both directions, a ray in only one. A ray can be shown by drawing a small arrow above the name of the ray, with the arrow pointing in the direction of the ray.
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.
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 segment has 2 endpoints. A ray has only 1 endpoint, where the other end is an infinite line.
