Which is a line segment?
That is correct!
What is a ray?
Part of a line that has one end point and goes in
one direction without end.
Example: laser pointer- it starts at the pointer and
continues on forever in one direction as long as
there is nothing blocking it

Which is a ray?
That is correct!
What are parallel lines?
Two lines or line segments can either intersect
(cross) each other or be parallel.
Think of the parallel lines as never meeting each
other, no matter how much you would continue
them to both directions.
Example: lines on a piece of paper

Parallel Lines
These lines intersect. These lines are parallel.
Tip
Ifyou are not sure the lines are parallel, continue
drawing the lines with a ruler and see if they meet.
These lines look parallel,
but if you continue them
they are not.
Which set of lines are parallel?
That is correct!
Which set of lines are NOT parallel?
That is correct!
What are perpendicular lines?
Lines that intersect or cross to form a right angle
(90 degree angle).
Example: sides that meet on a window

Which set of lines are perpendicular?
That is correct!
Which set of lines are NOT
perpendicular?
That is correct!
