If you have two points, a and b, you can draw only one line that will go through both points. Or in other words, two points define a line.
When three points lie on a line, one point can be expressed as a linear combination of the other two. This means that if you have points A, B, and C on the same line, one point (say C) can be represented as a weighted average of the other two points (A and B). However, it does not imply that one point is literally the same as the other two, only that it can be derived from them geometrically.
False. In order for the line PQ to lie in plane B, then both P and Q must lie in plane B.
They are collinear points that lie on the same line
One line only. This is because by definition a line only needs two points. Three points not in a line would make a plane when connected. Two points, when connected, form a line in which there is only one way to pass through points a and b.
We use the word "collinear" to mean points on the same line.
Collinear.
a line segment has only one midpoint "C" but the two sections AC and CE can have their own midpoint "B" and "D" and so on... A B C D E
Another way to name line ℓ is by using two points that lie on the line, such as points A and B, expressed as line AB. Alternatively, you can also name it using a single lowercase letter, if one is assigned, such as line m.
Yes, two lines that lie in parallel to the same line are always parallel to each other. This is based on the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines, which states that if line A is parallel to line B, and line B is parallel to line C, then line A is parallel to line C. Thus, if two lines are both parallel to a third line, they must be parallel to each other.
Plane X and line n intersect.
All points on a plane that are equidistant from the endpoints of a line segment ( ab ) lie on the perpendicular bisector of the segment. This line bisects ( ab ) at a right angle and includes all points that are the same distance from both endpoints ( a ) and ( b ). Therefore, any point on this line is equidistant from ( a ) and ( b ).
line segments have two definite points, A and B, a ray has has only one definite point and the over indefinite point is a continuous line
