  1. A line segment is a part of a line that connects two specific endpoints, like AB or BA. It is finite and measurable. In contrast, a line is infinite, extending endlessly in both directions without any endpoints, often denoted as AB with arrows on both sides. While a line segment represents a fixed distance, a line signifies continuity. For example, a crease on folded paper represents a line segment, whereas its extended version illustrates a line.
