A line extends forever in both directions,

like this:
 A line segment is just part of a line. It has
two endpoints, like this:
Write the name of the line or line segment.
Two or more lines
that meet at a point
are
called intersecting
lines. That point
would be on each of
these lines. In Figure,
lines l and m
intersect at Q.
Two lines that
intersect and form
right angles are
called perpendicular
lines. The symbol is
used to denote
perpendicular lines. In
Figure , line l line m.
Two lines, both in the
same plane, that never
intersect are
called parallel lines.
Parallel lines remain
the same distance apart
at all times. The symbol
// is used to denote
parallel lines. In
Figure, l // m.
 Identify the following figures. Write
intersecting, perpendicular or parallel
lines.
A ray starts out at a point
and continues off to
infinity. We can show
that by drawing an arrow at
one end of the ray. Think of
the sun's rays:
they start at the sun and go
on indefinitely.
We can name a ray using its starting point and
one other point that is
on the ray: this is ray QP or ray (note the
one arrowhead). Or, we can name a ray using
a lowercase letter: this is ray r.
An angle is made up of two rays that
have the same beginning point.
That point is called the vertex and
the two rays are called the sides
of the angle.
To name an angle, we use three
points, listing the vertex in the
middle.
This is angle DEF or DEF. We can
use the symbol for angle.
Name the vertex and sides of each angle.
Write two names for each.
