A line segment has a set length while both the line and ray go on indefinitely.
The difference is that a ray only goes on forever in one direction (a length of infinity), while a line goes on for infinity in both directions (infinity * 2)
However, since infinity is only a theoretical number, which means it can only be used practically to define ideal values and impossible circumstances.
Since infinity, as a number, can only be truly changed through being multiplied zero, which gives zero; or though multiplication or division by a negative number, which gives negative infinity; infinity * 2 is still infinity.
To put it simply provided x > 0
infinity * x = infinity
Therefore, your answer would be a tie between line and ray, but if you're answering this question for a teacher, be sure to include the entire paragraph above. If you had to choose, line would be the most correct answer.

A ray line is longer, since it has an end point and then extends forever in the other direction its length is infinite, whereas a segment has a definite length defined by two endpoints.
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
A line segment is a specific length. A line goes on forever in both directions.
yes, because a line segment is part of a line and a ray goes on forever and it does always happen
Such a line is called a perpendicular bisector.
