Answer: line: To represent straight objects in geometry, mathematicians introduced the concept of line or straight line

rays: vector, a ray is a vector from a point to a point. In geometry, a ray is usually taken as a half-infinite line (also known as a half-line) with one of the two points and taken to be at infinity

segments: The term line segment refers to a section of a line bounded by two distinct points. It is comprised of all points on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, whereas an open line segment excludes both endpoints.
