Yes, it is. When the definition is separated into two conditional statements, both of the statements are true. This definition clearly states the condition under which an integer is divisible by 100, making it a good definition.

No, it is not. The statement is not precise. A ray or a point could be part of a line. A segment is more specifically a portion of the line between two points. So the statement is not accurate as a definition of a segment.
