How Many Rays?
Definition: Collinear points lie on the same line.
Question: Are two points always collinear? Why or why not?
Now explore the
following problems:
How many rays are determined by 3 collinear points?
How many rays are determined by 4 collinear points?
How many rays are determined by 5 collinear points?
Now look for a generalization: How many rays are determined by n collinear points?
