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.

Which is longest a ray line or line segment?
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.
Can a ray be a line segment?
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.
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
Which is longest line segment or line?
A line segment is a specific length. A line goes on forever in both directions.
Is a taut piece of thread a point line line segment ray or plane?
None of them since a thread has a finite length and finite width. A point has neither length nor width whereas a line, line segment and ray do not have any width. A plane has infinite length and width. The nearest approximation is a line segment.
Which is longest A line segment a line or a ray?
A line is longer.!?!
What is the longest a line segement a line or a ray?
In Geometry, a line is the longest between a line segment, a line and a ray. This is easy to determine given the definitions of each:-A line, which is determined by any two points in it, extends infinitely in both of its ends.-A line segment is the portion of a line contained between two points, including these points.-Any point O of a line divides it into two parts called rays that have a starting point in O but are infinite on their other end.So, a line segment is a segment with an end and a beginning, a ray has a beginning but not an end, and a line has no beginning or end, so a line is the longest.
Which is longest a ray line or line segment?
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.
What is the difference between a line segment and a ray?
a ray continues on and on but a line segment stops
Is an imaginary line from the earth to the moon a line a ray or a segment Why?
It is a segment in case you do not know what a segment is it is a line with two end points
Can a ray be a line segment?
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.
Which is longest a line segment a ray or a line?
A straight line may be extended in either direction indefinitely. A ray is the part of the straight line beginning at a given point and extending limitlessly in one direction. A line segment is a part of the straight line between two of its points, including the two points.
Can a line segment be part of a ray?
yes it can because a Ray is a line segment with an arrow at the end.
How is a line segment and ray the same?
They are not. A line segment is of finite length whereas a ray is infinitely long.
How is a line a line segment and a ray are different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
How is a line a line segment and a ray different?
A line segment has a finite length. A ray extends to infinity in one direction.
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
