Is there anything that goes with this question?

At least in my experience, capital letters tend to denote points, whereas lower case letters denote lines. But that might just be the curriculum I used.

Answer 11

Sorry @Charizard_Rider29 The N does. :)

Answer 12

so there is your answer

Answer 13

This may be the silliest question ever. There is NO fixed method for naming lines. None!!!! Unless you have discussed some sort of specifics in your class, there is not a good answer to this question. Name your line "Steve" of "Fido". Who cares? Utterly silly!!

Answer 14

why the exclamations '!!!!' ?

Answer 15

Ummm...emphasis? Or, maybe just sleeping on the keyboard. One of those.

Answer 16

It isn't it's on my math quiz, I promise! @tkhunny

Answer 17

So N is the answer?

Answer 18

Yes

Answer 19

Well, then you very well BETTER have discussed VERY SPECIFIC rules and naming conventions in your class or the question is 100% unfair and inappropriate. Without knowledge of such a discussion, there is no reasonable answer to this question. If you ask ANYONE out here, who did not have your classroom discussion, they are only able to speculate. They CANNOT be definitive or authoritative.

Answer 20

I agree with tkhunny BUT it all depends what you are learning. I would go with N just like Dmb since it's different not just a litter.

Answer 21

*letter

Answer 22

do you have to sound like a ***ch

Answer 23

While it may not be authoritative, in most textbooks I've seen, if lines are not named something like AB, then they will be named with a lower case letter, such as m.

Answer 24

I realize that there are different conventions from class to class, so I don't want to take away from others' viewpoints.

Answer 25

@tkhunny If it helps I'm online schooled.... 0_0

Answer 26

Actually I just saw St. Since a line needs two points in order to be a line. Then my best answer is C. St.

there isn't really a name for a line. Again it depends on what you are learning in your class. For this question, everyone will have a different point of view. If you're very confused I suggest you asked the teacher, but I would consider 'St'

Answer 27

can you snapshot the N to see how it looks like?

Answer 28

@timaashorty You can't agree with me and then give a suggestion. Mutually exclusive.

@Dmb1215 You are free to make up what I "sound like". The fact is this, that such questions have no business on math tests, lacking proper background, and I do get to be rather excited when innocent students are being abused by careless teachers.

@jtvatsim There are so many places to see. Each of us has only limited experience.

@CrazyCountryGirl I am less and less encouraged by online math courses. Somewhere, somehow, you need the proper background to answer EVERY question. If you are not given that information, it must be one of two things, 1) A SUPER advanced course where you are supposed to develop and explore mathematics all on your own, or 2) Simply wrong. There isn't a 3rd option.

Answer 29

ok im going to leave so i dont say somthing and get kicked off the site

Answer 31

I SAID: I agree with you that there's no actual name for a line. And oh yes, I can agree and give a suggestion at the same time.

What does this have to do with teachers abusing innocent children? This girl is asking for help, so please keep your point of view (unless it's going to help her) and anger to yourself.

Answer 32

You need to fight this one. Unless someone can point to a page or section where VERY SPECIFIC instructions are given, you should get credit for this, no matter what you answer of don't answer. Maybe it's there. No one here knows. That's why those with integrity won't try to provide an incorrect answer.

Answer 33

This question is based on what she learned @tkhunny. Math is not war, she doesn't need to fight. If she doesn't understand she should ask her teacher for further explanation. I'm pretty sure that the teacher is not going to ask this question if they haven't went over it.

Answer 34

I can argue all four answers or none of the above. So? It's a horrible question - UNLESS there is strong, clear, and specific guidance. If there is, let's see it.

1) In online curricula, there isn't always someone to talk to. It is quite unfortunate.

2) You can be as sure as you like, you still don't know any better than anyone else. Mistakes do happen. Bad test questions do get on tests. If we all just accept it, it never will get fixed.

3) We have generations of people afraid of learning mathematics. If those who care don't fight the fight, who will?

My views. I welcome others'.

Answer 35

@crazycathatesmath14 Once you've submitted, can you tell me what was the answer?

Answer 36

@timaashorty I think you meant to ping @CrazyCountryGirl :)

Answer 37

Lol I did. My bad. and thanks(:

Answer 38

@jvatsim Yes I will, I just have like Seven other questions I think. :)

Answer 39

good luck [:
