So, a line segment is a piece or part of a line having two endpoints. Unlike a line, a line segment has a definite length.

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 . A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and goes on infinitely in only one direction.

A line is a straight path on a plane that extends forever in both directions with no endpoints. A line segment is part of a line that has two endpoints and is finite in length. A ray is a line segment that extends indefinitely in one direction.

We can say yes that is also a line segment. So a B and D C would also be a line segment. Now couldMoreWe can say yes that is also a line segment. So a B and D C would also be a line segment. Now could we write B a and CD. Yes we could we can say that a be the line segment is the same as ba.
