Question
Mateo says a ray is straight and goes on forever in two directions. His statement is incorrect.
One of the following should Mateo replace "a ray" with to make the statement correct.
- line
- point
- angle
- line segment
Hint:
A line is a collection of points on a plane that follows a straight path and the ends keep expanding indefinitely in the opposite directions.
The correct answer is: line
GIVEN-
Incorrect statement i.e. 'A ray is straight and goes on forever in two directions'.
TO FIND-
Word to replace from the given incorrect statement to make it correct.
SOLUTION-
We know that a ray has one end closed and the other expands infinitely. Hence, the given statement is incorrect.
Also, an angle is the intersection of 2 rays. Hence, option c is eliminated.
A line segment has both the end closed that is definite and hence, option d is also eliminated.
A line refers to a collection of points in straight path where both the ends keep expanding in the opposite directions.
Hence, option 'a' i.e. 'line' is the correct answer.

A straight path with points in a plane that continues without end in both directions.
A path is not a point but a collection of points in a straight path. Hence, option d is eliminated.
Also, a line segment and a ray are both parts of a line where a line segment has fixed or definite ends on both sides whereas a ray has one end fixed and the other end extends infinitely.
Hence, options b & c are also eliminated.

Identify the figure.
Intersecting lines are those that meet each other at a certain point on the plane whereas perpendicular lines are those which meet each other at a 90° angle.
Since in the given diagram the 2 lines never meet each other, options b & c are eliminated and since the lines also appear to be equidistant from each other, option d is also eliminated.
