Answer:
A line can be named either using two points on the line (for example, AB←→AB↔ ) or simply by a letter, usually lowercase (for example, line mm ).
A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line.
A segment is named by its two endpoints, for example, AB¯¯¯¯¯AB¯ .
A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction. You cannot measure the length of a ray.
A ray is named using its endpoint first, and then any other point on the ray (for example, BA−→−BA→ ).

Answer:
- line:a line can be defined as a straight one- dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends endlessly in both directions. It is often described as the shortest distance between any two points.
- line segment: line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line that is between its endpoints.
- Ray: ray can be defined as a part of a line that has a fixed starting point but no end point. It can extend infinitely in one direction.
