Technically, in geometry, there is no such thing. By definition, a line is infinite. A "line segment" is a finite portion of a line. In everyday speech, people might sometimes refer to a line segment as a finite line. But if you said this on a math test, you would fail the test.

A line segment is a finite part of a line that consists of two endpoints and all the points between them. It has a specific length and direction.

Line segment (or segment). When 2 end points are the same, it is a point.
