Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a ray

A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.

Step2: Name the ray using the endpoint first

The endpoint is \( Y \), so one way to name the ray is \( \overrightarrow{YX} \).

Step3: Another way to name the ray

Since the order of naming a ray matters (endpoint first), another valid name is \( \overrightarrow{Y\cdots X} \) (where the arrow indicates the direction from \( Y \) through \( X \) infinitely).

Answer:

\(\overrightarrow{YX}\) and \(\overrightarrow{Y\cdots X}\)
