What type of set is the set of all points lying on a straight line?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Infinite set
A straight line is continuous and contains points between every pair of its points. No matter how many points are identified, more points can always be found on the same line. Therefore the collection cannot be completely listed as a finite set. The set of all points on a straight line is infinite.
