Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Line, Line Segment, Ray worksheet
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
