in the STUDY MATERIAL, lets rreview:

a ______ line can be produced indefinitely

YOUR ANSWER: straight

CORRECT ANSWER: terminated

 

How is this correct???

A straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point. Given tow
distinct points, there is a unique line that passes through them. i.e. through two
points only one and only one line passes.

In geometry, by a line, we mean the line in its totality and not a portion of it. A
physical example of a perfect line is not possible. Since a line extends indefinitely in both
the directions

 

So, it cannot be drawn or shown whole on paper. In practice, only a portion of a line is
drawn and arrowheads are marked at its two ends indicating that it extends indefinitely
in both directions.
