Best Answer

Ab and Ba are the same line because there are no endpoints to a line. Therefore, you can reverse the order of the letters. So, Cd and Dc are not the same ray because the first letter is the endpoint. So on ray Cd, point C is the endpoint and d is a point on the line coming from the endpoint. On ray Dc, D is the endpoint.

Is a half line ab the same as half line ba?

No. A half line (also called a ray) is a linear object which starts at the first point, and extends to infinity through the second point. So the half-line (or ray) AB starts at point A, and shoots 'through' B and continues past B to infinity. The half-line BA is the other way around: it starts at point B, and then shoots 'through' A and continues past A to infinity. These two half-lines/rays end up extending to infinity in opposite directions, so they are not the same (not congruent).


What is the set of points from A to B that extends beyond B in the same direction?

The ray AB


it is a portion of a line consisting of two distinc points?

Two distinct points determine exactly one line. That line is the shortest path between the two points. ... Two points also determine a ray, a segment, and a distance, symbolized for points A and B by AB (or BA when B is the endpoint), AB, and AB respectively.
