How are lines and line segments alike? How are they different?
McGraw Hill My Math Grade 4 Chapter 14 Lesson 1 Answer Key Draw Points, Lines, and Rays 8
Answer: 1) A line is a straight set of points that extends in opposite directions without ending. The line segment does not extend in both directions since it has a starting and an ending point.
2) The line doesn’t have an endpoint. A line segment is part of a line between two endpoints.
3) The length of the line cannot be measured. The length of the line segment can be measured.
4) The line is represented as – AB and a horizontal line with arrow marks above the AB, i.e. \(\overleftrightarrow{A B}\). Whereas, the line segment is denoted as – AB and a horizontal line above the AB, i.e. \(\overline{A B}\).
