Collinear Points
Collinear Points: Overview
This topic explains concepts such as Countless Number of Points on a Line Segment, Collinear and Non-collinear Points, Line in Geometry, Properties of Lines, etc.

C. Surface of a loose thread
d. Vertical edge of a notebook
e. Both edges of a ruler
f. Unsharp edges of a pair of scissors
g. Long edge of a set square


Unlimited number of rays can be drawn from

Since unlimited number of lines can pass through a point, so, unlimited number of rays can not be drawn from a fixed point.
