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

Explanation:

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).

Answer:

Segment AB or BA
