Line having two terminating points is called a line segment.

Explanation:

A line is a figure which is one dimensional i.e., it has no thickness and extends infinitely. When a line has two terminating points i.e., it does not extend infinitely then it is known as a line segment.

The line AB is denoted as

`\overleftrightarrow{AB}`.

The line segment AB is denoted as

`\overline{AB}`.
