Statement 2: A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and continues in one direction infinitely.

Which of these options is correct?
Answer
Statement 1 represents a postulate and Statement 2 represents a definition.
Statement 1 represents a definition and Statement 2 represents a theorem.
Statement 1 and Statement 2 represent postulates because they can be proved.
Statement 1 and Statement 2 represent definitions because they explain the meaning of terms.

Answer 1

They are both definitions. (postulates are the same as axioms, basic things in maths that we accept and dont prove)

Answer 2

Thanks you.
