Given: Some figures are given.

Required: To classify the given figure as Ray, Line, or line segment.

Explanation: A ray has a starting point but no endpoint.

A line is a collection of dots that have no endpoints.

A line segment is a part of a line that has a starting and an endpoint.

The figure given in part (a) has a starting point S but no end point. So it is a ray.

In part (b) the figure has a starting point P, and endpoint Q. Thus it represents a Line Segment.

In part (c) we have a figure which does not have either the starting or the endpoint. It can be extended to infinity in either direction. Thus it is a Line.

Final Answer:

a) Ray

b) Line segment

c) Line
