Does a line always have two points?

Normally a straight line has infinitely many points. It is only in one case of projective geometry that lines have two points.


What is a piece of line with one point?

One point cannot make a line or even a piece of a line. You need at least two points (in projective geometry) and infinitely many in classic geometry.


How many lines can be drawn through two fixed points?

In Euclidian or plane geometry, there can be only one line through two fixed points. Lines cannot actually be drawn; if you see it it is not a geometric line. If the points are on a curved surface as in a geometry that is non-Euclidian, then there can be infinitely many lines connecting two points.


Can a ray have three points?

In ordinary geometry, no. Any ray will have infinitely many points.


How many lines can contain a line and a point not on the line?

In plane geometry a line is a two dimentional object between two points. If a line or a point is not on the line it, by definition, does not contain them. The answer therefor is infinite. Unless it is a closed line which has a slightly different definition but the answer is the same.


How many distinct lines can be drawn through 2 points?

In plane (Euclidian) geometry there is only one line through two points. On a sphere, every meridian intersects the north and south poles.


How many different planes may share exactly one point?

None. In conventional geometry, any intersection of two planes defines a line, which is an infinite number of points. Many planes may intersect along a single line, or any pair of planes may intersect creating a unique line, but however they intersect, the number of shared points is infinite. If the the planes do not intersect (if they are parallel), then they share zero points.


How many end points does a line have?

None, because a line goes on forever. A line can only have points.

A line is made up of an infinite number of points.


How many line segment are labeled in geometry?

Over the years, probably millions of them.
