What is the difference between line and a line segment?


Line Segment:


We join two points together to get a line segment. The line segment (ABABAB\overline{AB}AB) connects the points A and B.

 


Line:


If the line segment is extended beyond A in one direction and beyond B in the other direction without any end, then we get a line. The line is denoted as (AB\stackrel {\leftrightarrow}{AB}AB).
