∙ 6y agoA geometrical straight line is infinite but if it has defined end points then it is a line segment.
raylineA straight line with no defined end points
One would say that this is the definition of a line, however, your question says "A straight path of points" and a line only have one point but no end. So it may be a line or may be considered infinite points.
A straight line other than a line segment which does have end points.

In Euclidean geometry, a line has no end points - it is infinite in length.

A circle.
There are none.
If you mean a straight line that does not extend BEYOND it's two end points, then that would be a 'line segment.'
You had us baffled at "straight curve" . Could you mean if you start at the north pole, walk in a straight line, you will eventually get back to the north pole and round in a circle. Hence a straight line but no end points.

Infinite! When you speak of a "point" on a line segment, you're referring to infinitely small locations, not physical dots that you might draw on the segment. If you think of a "point" as being located at a certain distance from one of the end points of a 3 inch segment, such as 2.31 inches from the left side, you could always add more and more decimal places to the distance, such as 2.3173... to identify an infinite number of "points" or locations on the segment. A segment has 2 points one at the end and one at the beginning.**The answer as to how many points are on a line segment is "infinite". A given line segment is determined by it's two "end points", but has an infinite set of points between and including these two end points that make up the segment itself.
