Answer:

The name all the segments they determine are
\overline {NU},
\overline {UN},
\overline {NT},
\overline {TN},
\overline {UT},
\overline {TU}.

Explanation:

Given information: Points N, U, and T are collinear.

We need to find the name all the segments they determine.

If three point are collinear, it means they are lie on the same line.

Segment is a part of a line which have two end points.

Let as consider the end points of the segment are N and U. So the name of segment is either
\overline {NU} or
\overline {UN}.

Consider the end points of the segment are N and T. So the name of segment is either
\overline {NT} or
\overline {TN}.

Consider the end points of the segment are U and T. So the name of segment is either
\overline {UT} or
\overline {TU}.
