POINTS
Points: A point is shown by a tiny dot
- Point can be drawn by Pen or a sharp pencil.
- A point is named by: Capital alphabet.
- Example: Rangoli are the symbols for points
.P
Line Segments: When two points are
joined, a straight figure obtained is called
segment.
- Line segment is always straight.
- It is closed by two points at opposite end.
- It is denoted by ‘seg’. Example: Seg PA, Seg CX

.A .Q .P
.C .A .Q

.X .T .C
.X .T
Lines: Lines: Lines:
Concept: A straight figure passing
through atleast two points and
progressing in both opposite
direction us called line.
- A line is named using a small letter
or by using any two points on the
line. Line p, line AB, line BA
- Line is drawn with arrowheads at
Line also has segments in it, which is
both ends of the showing it is always
closed by two end points.
progressive.
- In mathematics, line always means
‘straight line’.
Lines: Lines: Lines:
Concept: • One and only one line can be
drawn through any two distinct
• An infinite number of lines can be
points.
drawn through one point.
• Three or more points which lie on
• When two or more lines pass
a single straight line are said to be
through the same point, they are
collinear points.
called concurrent.
• Points which do not lie on the
• lines and the common point
same line are called non-collinear
through which they pass is called
points.
their point of concurrence.
Rays:
Concept:
A ray is a part of a line which starts at
one point and progresses continuously
in the same direction.
Starting point of ray is called ‘origin’
Here P is the origin.
Arrowhead is drawn to show that the
ray is infinite in the direction of Q The
figure can be read as ray PQ not ray
QP
