Question
question 2
if points a and b are endpoints of a line segment, what is the name of the segment?
- point ab
- ray ab only
- segment ab or ba
- line ab only
Brief Explanations
A line segment is named by its two endpoints, and the order of the endpoints does not matter. So a segment with endpoints A and B can be called Segment AB or Segment BA. The other options are incorrect: "Point AB" refers to a point, not a segment; "Ray AB only" is a ray (has one endpoint and extends infinitely); "Line AB only" is a line (extends infinitely in both directions).
