What is a line segment used for?
A line segment is often used in math to do geometry and other types of math. This is a part of a line which can be calculated and measured correctly in an equation.
What does the slope in your equation mean?
In a linear (first-order) equation, it is the ratio of the change in y of a segment to the change in x of the same segment. If the equation is in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope. In a higher-order equation, the instantaneous slope is the slope of the tangent line intersecting a particular point along the curve.
Is railroad a line or line segment?
line segment
What is a geometrical line?
a parallelogram does not have a line of symmery
How are a line and a line segment are different?
a line can be indefinitely extended but a line segment is a part. a line segment cannot be extended:)

What kind of line segment connects two points on a circle?
A chord. If it's not a segment, it's a secant line.
What are all of the types of line segments?
Line segment AI, line segment BG, line segment GH and line segment CE
What kind of equation is y equals mx plus b?
A straight line equation
Is a line longer than a line segment?
A line extends forever into space and a line segment is a segment or part of a line, so a line is longer than a line segment.

What kind of equation has a graph that is not a straight line?
y=x2
Define line segment?
A line segment has two end points. This is called an line segment.
What is a segment bisect?
Bisect a segment is to divide the line segment into 2
