Points and Segments

Visual models of points and line segments.

$Clean scientific diagram showing real-world models of a point: the sharp tip of a compass, the sharpened end of a pencil, and the pointed end of a needle, cleanly laid out with a pastel color palette. Below them, a line segment connecting two points labeled A and B. Soft shadows, elegant typography, white background.$

The Point: A point is an exact location in space. It has no size, length, or width. Think of it as a tiny dot, like the tip of a sharp pencil or a pin.
The Line Segment: A line segment is a straight path that connects two points. It has a clear start and a clear end (Point A and Point B).
The Connection: Everything in geometry is built from these simple parts. By joining points together, we create the shapes and structures we see every day.

Visual comparison of line-segment, line, and ray.

$Clean side-by-side comparison diagram showing a Line Segment with two solid endpoints A and B, a Line passing through points A and B with arrows on both ends, and a Ray starting at point A and passing through point P with an arrow on P's end. Consistent visual treatment, pastel color coding to distinguish categories, elegant typography, white background.$

📏 Line Segment

Endpoints: Exactly two
Can we measure it? Yes! It has a definite length
How to write it: $\overline{AB}$ (with a line on top)
Example: The edge of your ruler

🚀 Ray

Endpoints: One (the starting point)
Can we measure it? No! It goes on forever in one direction
How to write it: $\overrightarrow{AB}$ (with an arrow on top)
Example: A beam of light from a torch

↔️ Line

Endpoints: None
Can we measure it? No! It goes on forever in both directions
How to write it: $\overleftrightarrow{AB}$ (with arrows on both sides)
Example: Imagine a railway track that never ends

Recall properties of points and segments.

A point determines a precise , but it has no length, breadth, or height. The shortest route from point A to point B is called a line , which has exactly endpoints. If this segment is extended forever in both directions without any end, it serves as a model for a . You cannot draw a complete picture of a line because it goes on endlessly, but it is uniquely determined by any two . On the other hand, a portion of a line that starts at a single initial point and goes on endlessly in just one direction is called a .
