Question

name the figure below in two different ways. symbol: and

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ray - naming rules

A ray can be named using its endpoint first and then another point on the ray.

Step2: First naming

With endpoint $H$ and point $Q$ on the ray, it can be named $\overrightarrow{HQ}$.

Step3: Second naming

Since a ray's name is based on its endpoint and another point, we can also write it considering the direction. But the standard way with the endpoint first gives us another valid name which is still $\overrightarrow{HQ}$ as there is no other way to name it differently following naming conventions for a single - ray with given endpoints. In some cases, if there were more points on the line containing the ray, we could potentially use other points to name it in relation to the endpoint, but here with just $H$ and $Q$, the two valid names (in the sense of different notations allowed by the naming rules) are $\overrightarrow{HQ}$ and $\overrightarrow{HQ}$ (the second one just emphasizing the two - part naming structure).

Answer:

$\overrightarrow{HQ}$, $\overrightarrow{HQ}$
