line segment

Two endpoints connected

A line segment is the portion of a line between two endpoints.

Unlike a line, which extends infinitely in both directions, a segment has definite length and can be measured.

In geometry, the line segment AB connects points A and B.

Informally, any straight bounded section: a line segment of the graph.
