To name a ray, write the endpoint first, followed by a second point in the direction the ray extends, and place a one-way arrow above the letters. The arrow symbol always points to the right in notation, regardless of the drawn direction.
Conditions: The object being named is a ray.; Two points are available: the endpoint and a direction point.

Segment notation uses a single overbar above the two endpoint letters, while line notation uses a double-headed arrow above the two point letters. A segment has two endpoints and is finite, whereas a line extends infinitely in both directions.
Conditions: The object is either a segment or a line.; Two points are used for naming.
