Question
which statement is true about the ray passing through points b and c?
the ray extends infinitely in one direction.
there are only two points on the entire ray.
the ray has a finite length that can be measured.
the ray extends infinitely in both directions.
A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction. In the case of the ray passing through points B and C, it starts at one of the points (say B) and goes on infinitely in the direction away from the other point (C). There are infinitely many points on a ray, not just two. Also, since it extends infinitely, its length cannot be measured (a finite - length figure would be a line segment). A line extends infinitely in both directions, but a ray does not.
