Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (QA and QB in the figure above) form a single straight line through the common endpoint Q. When the two rays are opposite, the points A,Q and B are collinear.
Opposite rays are a pair of rays that share the same endpoint but extend in opposite directions. They form a straight line together. The two rays are collinear (lie on the same line) and are called “opposite” because they point in exactly opposite directions from the common endpoint.
Opposite rays are a pair of rays that share the same endpoint and extend in opposite directions. They are also referred to as opposite sides. To understand opposite rays, we need to first understand what a ray is.
One way to visualize opposite rays is to think of a line segment, or a straight line with two endpoints. If you extend each endpoint in opposite directions infinitely, you would get two opposite rays. Opposite rays are often used in geometry to describe angles.

Opposite Rays are those 2 rays that start exactly from the same point but continues to the opposite direction. Take an example of the below Opposite Rays: The start point for the Rays ZX and ZY is Z, and then they both go the opposite direction that makes 2 opposite rays: ZX and ZY.
What are opposite rays? Opposite rays have the same endpoint but extend in opposite directions. Together they form a line.
