Study Notes

Straight Line Basics

A straight line is defined by two points and extends infinitely in both directions.
Arrowheads at the ends of a line indicate its infinite nature.
A line can be named using a small letter (e.g., line D) or by two points on the line (e.g., line AB, line BA).
A line is denoted using the symbol $\overleftrightarrow{AB}$ or $\overleftrightarrow{BA}$.

Parts of a Line

Line Segment: A portion of a straight line with a defined start and end point.
Endpoints: The two points that define the boundaries of a line segment.
Ray: Part of a straight line with a single endpoint that extends infinitely in one direction.
A ray is denoted by $\overrightarrow{AB}$, indicating an arrow starting at point A and extending towards point B.
