Description

This web-based resource is an interactive web page that demonstrates the definition of a line segment. The page presents two points and a line that links them. As the points are dragged, the line moves accordingly. (See also the tutorials for line and ray.)

The page can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. After use in the classroom, student can access it again from any web browser at home or in the library with no login required.
