The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the ray PQ starts from point Q, we need to understand the definition of a ray in geometry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of a Ray**: A ray is a part of a line that has a starting point (called the endpoint) and extends infinitely in one direction. 2. **Identifying Points**: In the ray PQ, point P is the starting point (or endpoint) of the ray, and point Q is another point that lies on the ray. 3. **Direction of the Ray**: The ray PQ starts from point P and extends infinitely towards point Q and beyond. This means that the ray moves in the direction from P to Q. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the ray PQ starts from point P and not from point Q, we can conclude that the ray PQ does not start from point Q. ### Final Answer: No, the ray PQ does not start from point Q; it starts from point P. ---
