A linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction is called a ray i.e., \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option (a)\\\end{minispace}}.  

Further explanation:

To define a linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction, check for the options as shown below.

Option (a): Ray

A ray is defined as a line that starts with one fixed point and extends infinitely along the line from the fixed point.

This means if a linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction then it represents a ray.

Therefore, the option (a) is correct.

Option (b): Line

A line is defined as a straight path whose start and end points are on infinity that means a line extends infinitely in both directions.

Therefore, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c): Segment

A segment is defined as a part of a line that has a start point and an end point.

This means if start and end point is known then the line is defined as a segment.

Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (d): Perpendicular bisector

A perpendicular bisector is defined as a line that cuts a line segment into two parts perpendicularly that means the angle between the line segment and perpendicular bisector is 90^{\circ}.

Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.

From the above options of a ray, a line, a segment and a perpendicular bisector we can conclude that given definition is equivalent to the definition of a ray.

Therefore, \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option (a)\\\end{minispace}} is correct.

Answer:- Option A "ray" is the right term which matches with the definition.


Explanation:-

A ray is a line that has one fixed endpoint, and extends infinitely along the line from the fixed endpoint.

Therefore, the term which matches with the given definition is "ray".

Thus A linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction is called a ray.

John Simone is buying a used car for a total cost of $11,805.00. He’s making a down payment of $1,500.00 and borrowing the remai
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that John Simone is purchasing a used car for 11805 dollars.

Down payment = 1500

Net loan amount = 11805-1500 = 10305

Equal monthly instalments he paid = 343 dollars

Tenure =3 years

For 3 years rate of interest should be 12.2%

Then only we get for 3 years for the loan emi as 343

the expression -300 + 14y represents a submarine that began at a depth of 300 feet below sea level and ascended at a rate of 14
spayn [35]

Answer:

174 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

y is the number of minutes so you can multiply 14 by 9

14*9 is 126

then you add 126 to -300

126 + (-300) is essentially 126 - 300 and that is -174

the submarine was at 174 feet below sea level
