The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Definition of a Line Segment:** A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints. It is different from a line, which extends infinitely in both directions. 2. **Identifying the Endpoints:** To determine how many endpoints a line segment has, we need to visualize or draw a line segment. For example, if we draw a line segment from point A to point B, point A and point B are the endpoints. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** We have several options to consider regarding the properties of a line segment: - Option 1 states that a line segment has one endpoint. - Option 2 states that a line segment has two endpoints. - Option 3 mentions length and width. - Option 4 states that a line segment extends endlessly in both directions. 4. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Option 1:** Incorrect, as a line segment has two endpoints, not one. - **Option 2:** Correct, as a line segment indeed has two endpoints. - **Option 3:** Incorrect, as a line segment only has length, not width. - **Option 4:** Incorrect, as a line segment does not extend endlessly; it has defined endpoints. 5. **Conclusion:** The correct answer is that a line segment has two endpoints.
