Question

A linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction what term matches the definition?

Answer 1

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 2

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.
