Question

your answer is incorrect. classify each figure as a line, ray, or line segment. then, show how to write it. (a) (b) (c)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

• A line segment has two endpoints.
• A line has no endpoints and extends infinitely in both directions.
• A ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Step2: Analyze figure (a)

• Figure (a) has two endpoints \(K\) and \(J\). So it is a line segment. Written as \(\overline{KJ}\).

Step3: Analyze figure (b)

• Figure (b) has no endpoints (extends infinitely in both directions). So it is a line. Written as \(\overleftrightarrow{LM}\).

Step4: Analyze figure (c)

• Figure (c) has one endpoint \(G\) and extends infinitely in one direction. So it is a ray. Written as \(\overrightarrow{GH}\).

Answer:

(a) Type: line segment; How to write it: \(\overline{KJ}\)
(b) Type: line; How to write it: \(\overleftrightarrow{LM}\)
(c) Type: ray; How to write it: \(\overrightarrow{GH}\)
