If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane so that the intersection goes through the cone's vertex as well as an edge of each nappe, the shape produced is a line.
Not asked, but...
If the angle of the plane is less than the angle of the cone, then the intersection is a point. If the angle of the plane is greater than the angle of the cone, then the intersection is two lines intersecting at the vertex.
If the plane insersects at other than the vertex, then the intersection is a circle when the plane is perpendicular to the cone's axis, an ellipse when the plane's angle is less than the cone's angle, a parabola when the planes's angle equals the cone's angle, and two hyperbole's in the last case.

If a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone but not through the vertex as in the picture below what shape is produced?
A line is produced
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone but not through the vertex the resulting curve will be what?
if a right circular cone intersects a plane that goes through both nappes of the cone, but not through the vertex, the resulting curve will be a hyperbola
Why can three coplanar lines have zero one two or three points of intersection?
If all three lines are parallel, there are zero points of intersection. If all three lines go through a point, there is one point of intersection. If two lines are parallel and the third one crosses them, there are two. If the three lines make a triangle, there are three points.
What transformation moves objects along a circular arc with a specified center through a specified angle?
Rotation.
The intersection of a plane and cone?
If it's parallel to the base, it's a circle. If it doesn't go through the base, it's an ellipse. If it's does, it's hyperbolic/parabolic.

CIRCULAR
What if a right circular cone intersects a plane that passes through one of its nappes but the plane is not parallel to an edge of the cone?
Then the intersection is a hyperbola.

When it is produced it is processed through a tube, giving it a circular shape.
What does a traffic signal displaying a steady circular yellow light mean?
A traffic signal displaying a steady circular yellow light means that you should use caution when going through the intersection. You have the right away, but watch for other cars.
