Question

19 which statement most accurately defines a ray? a all points of a line that are on either side of a fixed point b all points of a line that are on one side of a fixed point including the fixed point c all points of a line that are between two fixed points of the line d all points of a line that are between two fixed points of the line including two fixed points

Explanation:

A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint (the fixed point) and extends infinitely in one direction. So it includes the fixed point and all the points on one side of it.

• Option A: A ray is not on either side of a fixed point.
• Option C: This describes a line segment without endpoints included.
• Option D: This describes a line segment with endpoints included.

Answer:

B. all points of a line that are on one side of a fixed point including the fixed point
