Question

identify the figure as a line, a ray, a line segment, or an angle. then, name the figure using the given points.

choose the correct description below.
a. line
b. line segment
c. angle
d. ray

choose the correct name below.
a. \\(\overleftrightarrow{wx}\\)
b. \\(\overline{wx}\\)
c. \\(\overrightarrow{wx}\\)
d. \\(\angle wx\\)

Explanation:

Identify the geometric figure

The figure has a fixed endpoint at \(W\) and extends infinitely in one direction through point \(X\), as indicated by the arrowhead. This matches the definition of a ray.

Determine the correct notation

A ray is named starting with its endpoint followed by any other point on the ray. Since the endpoint is \(W\) and it passes through \(X\), the correct notation is \(\overrightarrow{WX}\).

Answer:

Question 1

• A. Line
• B. Line segment
• C. Angle
• D. Ray (Correct answer)

Question 2

• A. \(\overleftrightarrow{WX}\)
• B. \(\overline{WX}\)
• C. \(\overrightarrow{WX}\) (Correct answer)
• D. \(\angle{WX}\)
