Draw a line with 3 distinct pints on it. Label each with a different letter. How many different rays can you name using only the three given points?

a)8
b)6
c)4*
d)2

I'm guessing 4 but idk if it's two... can someone please explain?

8 answers

well, just list them. If the points are A,B,C left-to-right, then you have 6 ways to pair them up:

AB
BA
AC
CA
BC
CB

But the ray going right from A passes through both B and C, so
AB and AC are the same ray.

Similarly, CB and CA are the same ray.

BA and BC point in opposite directions.

So, your guess is correct.
The answer is 4. Steve got it right.
O_O IM SO CONFUSED :(
I've debated between them and its 2! if u used the points from end to end it would make a line so 2 is correct!
the answer is only two so UR WELCOME!!!!
