.
A line is of infinite length, the image of a linear equation,
whose absolute distance between two points equals the measured distance
along the figure between the all points.
.
.
A line segment is the distance between two points on a line.
.
A ray is the portion of the infinite line between a given point and the
corresponding infinity in the given direction.
