Answer:

The part of a line that connects two points. It is the shortest distance between the two points. It has a length. Adding the word "segment" is important, because a line normally extends in both directions without end. But a line segment has definite end points.:)

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints.
