Line segment:-
* Line segment is a part of a line which has
2 endpoints.
* It has a fixed length and it can be measured .
A • •B
* It is denoted as AB .
Line :-
* Line is obtained by joining the dots.
* It is the extended part of line segment.
* It has no endpoints and it cannot be measured.
A B
+-+
* It is denoted as AB .
Ex: Railway track, road etc
Ray:-
* Ray is a portion of a line.
* It starts at one point called starting point or initial
point and goes endlessly in another direction.
A
--+
* It is denoted as AB.
Ex: Sun rays, Torch light etc.
Intersecting lines:-
* If two lines have one common point they are
called as intersecting lines.
* The point where two lines intersect, is called as
point of intersection.
Parallel lines:-
* The lines which do not meet are called parallel
lines.
* It is represented by a symbol 'I I'
( I I )
A B
( I I )
C D
Here, if two lines AB and CD are parallel to each
......................
other then we write it as AB II CD
Ex : Railway track, edges of river, ladder etc.
