No, just the opposite: A line segment has two end points.
The word line is usually used to refer to a line segment, but by the mathematical definition, a line extends forever in both directions.
(A line that has one end point and extends forever in one direction is called a ray.)

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.
Which is longest line segment or line?
A line segment is a specific length. A line goes on forever in both directions.
Does a line always contains a line segment and ray?
yes, because a line segment is part of a line and a ray goes on forever and it does always happen
What is a line segment?
A line segment is a straight line that has endpoints.
Ray in math?
ray is a line segment that extends forever in one direction
Does a ray go on forever?
Yes, both a ray and a line go on forever, but unlike a line, and like a line segment, a ray has an endpoint.
Does a line go forever?
A "line" does. A "line segment" does not. Most people interpret "line" to mean "line segment" (without realising it) and so would conclude that a line does not go on forever. A "line segment" is a line between two points, which is what you would draw if told to draw a "line" on a piece of paper.
Parallel line segments are 2 line segments that are parallel. They never touch and they do not go on forever. Parallel lines do go on forever because lines go on forever. I think I'm right. Am I?
Yes, you are right. A line segment eventually ends. In fact, a segment has two endpoints. But parallel lines go on forever; they have no endpoints.Example: (arrows indicating they go on forever)_____________________ (these are parallel line segments)
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.
Can a line segment also be a line?
No. A line continues forever in both directions. A line segment stops.
Do opposite rays form a segment?
no. A segment is a line with end points. Rays start in one place and go on forever.
Which is longest line segment or line?
A line segment is a specific length. A line goes on forever in both directions.
Is a ruler a line or a line segment?
A ruler is a line segment because it ends at a one point when a line goes on forever.
What do the words line segment mean in geometry?
A line segment is a line that has given boundries, while a line goes on forever.
What shape has 2 end points?
The shape that has 2 end points is known as a line segment. A line segment is a line that can go on forever, but it has a start point and an end point, no matter where it stops.
What the different between a line and a line segment?
Line segments have two ending points, while lines by proof and definition go on and on forever.
How the line and line segment are alike?
a line segment is only a small part of the line and can be expressed as a number. A line goes on forever into space
