Explanation:
Let’s go through each item one by one and match it to the correct picture (A–G) based on what a line, line segment, or ray is.
First, remember:
- A
line goes forever in both directions — no endpoints. It’s drawn with arrows on both ends.
- A
line segment has two endpoints — it’s a straight part between two points. No arrows.
- A
ray has one endpoint and goes forever in one direction — arrow on only one end.
Now look at the descriptions:
1.
CJ with double-headed arrow (↔)
→ This means a line through points C and J, going infinitely both ways.
Which picture shows a line (no endpoints, arrows both sides)?
Picture
D is just a line with no endpoints or labels — but wait, D has no points labeled. Let’s check others.
Picture
C: has points C and J, arrows on *both* ends → yes! That’s a line CJ. So #1 →
C
2.
Line Segment CJ
→ Two endpoints: C and J, no arrows.
Picture
E shows a segment from C to J, with solid dots at both ends, no arrows. ✔️
So #2 →
E
3.
CJ with single arrow pointing right (→)
→ Ray starting at C and going through J (arrow at J end). So endpoint is C, arrow at J.
Picture
A: point C (dot), then line to J with arrow at J → yes! That’s ray CJ.
So #3 →
A
4.
line MC
→ Line through M and C, infinite both ways. Arrows both ends.
Picture
F shows M and C with arrows on *both* ends → that’s line MC.
So #4 →
F
5.
Ray MC
→ Starts at M, goes through C, arrow at C end. Endpoint = M, arrow at C.
Picture
B: M (dot), line to C, arrow at C → yes! That’s ray MC.
So #5 →
B
6.
MC with bar over it (̄MC)
→ This notation (overline) means line *segment* MC — two endpoints, no arrows.
Picture
G: points M and C, solid dots, no arrows → segment MC. ✔️
So #6 →
G
Let’s double-check all:
1. ↔ CJ → C (arrows both ends, C & J labeled)
✔
2. Segment CJ → E (C to J, no arrows)
✔
3. → CJ (ray from C) → A (C start, arrow at J)
✔
4. line MC → F (M and C, arrows both ends)
✔
5. Ray MC → B (M start, arrow at C)
✔
6. ̄MC (segment) → G (M to C, no arrows)
✔
All match.
Final Answer:
1–C, 2–E, 3–A, 4–F, 5–B, 6–G
