Mathematics
Third Quarter
Module 2: Subsets of a Line

INTRODUCTION

Page 3 of 16
 This module is written in support of the k to 12 Basic Education
Program to ensure attainment of standards expected of you as a learner.

This aims to equip you with essential knowledge on subsets of a line.

As you go over the exercises you learn to name the subsets of the line.

This includes the following activities/tasks:

 Expected Learning Outcome – This lays out the learning outcome

that you are expected to have accomplished at the end of the
module.
 Pre-Test – This determines your prior learning on the particular
lesson you are about to take.
 Discussion of the Lesson – This provides you with the important
knowledge, principles and attitude that will help you meet the
expected learning outcome.
 Learning Activities – These provide you with the application of the
knowledge and principles you have gained from the lesson and
enable you to further enhance your skills as you carry out
prescribed tasks.
 Post-test – This evaluates your overall understanding about the
module.

With the different activities provided in this module, may you find this
material engaging and challenging as it develops your critical thinking skills.

8. A ray and a segment are collinear if they lie on one
line.

 What’s In

In this activity, you will recall terms related to lines with emphasis on
the subset of the line.

Refer the figure below.

E

A D t

B C

1. What line contains points A, X and C?

2. Which lines intersect at point X?
3. How many planes do the line m and line t determine?
4. How many planes do line t and point E determine?
5. How many lines do points A, B, C, D and E determine?

What’s New

Based on the illustration below, answer the questions that follow.

. . . .
A B C D
1. Can we form a segment?
2. Can we form a ray?

What Is It
Page 6 of 16
Illustrations of the Subsets of a Line
The subsets of a line are segment and ray.
Segment
A segment has two endpoints. It is named by its endpoints.
The segment below may be named AC or CA. a vinculum is placed
above its named to indicate that it is a segment.
A C
. .
Example:

Write the name of each segment.

E F M N
a. . . b. . .
Answer:

a. EF or FE b. MN or NM

The length of the segment is the distance between its endpoints.

Example:

If the distance between points C and D is 9 cm, then the length

of segment CD is 9 cm.
C D
. .
9 cm

A segment may be defined as the union of points A and C and together

with all the points between them.
A B C
. . .
Page 7 of 16
 In the above segment, A and C are the endpoints. There are points
between A and C. These points together with the endpoints A and C make a
segment. Point B is just one of the points between A and C. So, we can make
AB and BC.

A point such as point B above is between point A and C if and only if,
1. A, B and C are distinct points.
2. They are collinear.
3. AB + BC = AC.

These three conditions must be satisfied before it can be said that B is

between A and C.
The word distinct means that the three points are different from one
another.

Examples:

1. Draw points C, D and E on a line. How many different segments

are determined? Name them.

Answer:
C D E
. . .
CD, DE, CE

2. If AB = 5 cm, BC = 7 cm, and AC = 12 cm, is B between A and C?

Answer:
Suppose;

A B C
. . .
In the figure, A, B and C are different points on the same line.

AB + BC = AC
5 cm + 7 cm = 12 cm
The sum of the length of AB and BC is equal to the length of AC.

Since the three conditions are satisfied, therefore B is between

A and C.
Ray
A ray is a subset of a line that has one endpoint and extends
indefinitely in one direction.

Observe the line l below.

Page 8 of 16
 A B C
l . . .
The part of the line from point B that goes on indefinitely to the right
is a ray. The part of the line from point B that goes on indefinitely to the left
is another ray.

The ray which starts from point B that goes on indefinitely to the right
is named ray BC denoted by ⃗ BC . Its endpoint is B. Notice that when you
name a ray, you use two capital letters and its endpoint is written first. The
other way in the above figure is ray BA, denoted by ⃗BA .

Example:
Write a name for each figure.
J K N M
a. . . . .
Answer:
a. ⃗
JK b. ⃗
MN

Another term you should learn in this lesson is the term opposite
rays. Two rays are opposite if they are subsets of the same line and have a
common endpoint.
A B C
. . .
⃗
BC and ⃗BA are opposite rays. They are part of the line and their
common endpoint is B.
F G
E D . .
. .
⃗DE and ⃗
FG are not opposite rays because they are not subsets of the
same line.

A B C D
l . . . .
⃗
BE and ⃗
CD are not opposite rays because they do not have a common
endpoint.
