Are Line Segments Infinitely Long?

Roughly, we can say that a line is an infinitely thin, infinitely long collection of points extending in two opposite directions. ... A line segment has two endpoints. It contains these endpoints and all the points of the line between them. You can measure the length of a segment, but not of a line.

Are line segments infinite?

A line consists of infinitely many points. ... A (line) segment is a finite part of a line between two points, called its end points. A segment has a finite length.

Do line segments extend infinitely?

The set of all possible line segments findable in this way constitutes a line. A line extends indefinitely in a single dimension. Its length, having no limit, is infinite. Like the line segments that constitute it, it has no width or height.
