Question

Number of end points a line segment has
$\left( a \right)$ Three
$\left( b \right)$ None
$\left( c \right)$ Two
$\left( d \right)$ One

Answer 1

Hint – Draw a line AB, and the line segment always passes through it, figure out the points which serves as the end of the formed line segment. This will help to get the right option.
Complete step-by-step answer:

As we know for a line there should be a minimum two points.
So consider the points A and B and join them this makes a line AB as shown above.
So the line segment is always passing through these points (as the line segment is nothing but a portion of the line) so mark points P and Q which is the required line segment for line AB.
So as we see this line segment has 2 endpoints, one each at either side.
So the line segment has 2 endpoints.
Hence option (C) is correct.
Note – A line segment is a part of the line that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints, a half open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints.
