Linear Objects; Creating A Line; Creating A Ray - Texas Instruments TI-NSPIRE Software Manual

In these examples, the point is redefined from the circle to the segment.

Linear objects

The linear objects you can create and explore are located on the Points &
Lines menu. Graphs & Geometry creates "smart" lines and rays. This
means that the meaningful portion of the line or ray is displayed rather
than having the object project to infinity. This feature reduces clutter on
the work area.

Creating a line

2. Click a location to start your line.
This click defines one point on the line.
3. Move and click again to define the direction of the line.
Graphs & Geometry draws the line.
