A line segment is one of the important topics in lines and math subject. A line segment is the one small part of straight and long line, which is bounded by two end points. And it is defined as distance between the two end points.

What is Line Segment? – Explanation:

Line segment is defined as, the points, which is joining on the both directions in a particular distance. In between the points distance in a line is called as line segment.

A line segment is a small part of straight, thin and long line. That is having two end points on both directions of the line. It’s coordinates without extending that line after that end point. This is the formal definition for line segment in math.

Reference figures: Line segments

This given figure is has a line segment like CD or DC.

and then the line segment PQ can be referred as,

In the given figure P, Q is the two end points. The length of the a line segment PQ would be write it as PQ (over bar). It has used the name two end points PQ.

Explanatory of Line Segment:

Imagine that the line segment from A to B (AB) is extended line in beyond. A in one direction and beyond that B in the other direction without any end, the diagram is followed by, (see figure),

In the figure is shown the line segment is CD.

Indefinitely in both two directions. So it contains a countless (uncountable) number of points.

Adjacent diagram:

The adjacent diagram of the above figure is the line PQ. It can be written as PQ. Some cases the line is denoted by a letters like l, m.
