Can there be parallel lines in a circle?
The two points on exactly opposite sides of a circle are parallel to each other. This can be evidenced by finding the derivative/gradient at those points; if they are the same then the two line segments described by those points are parallel.
The number of points on a line?
There are an infinite number of points on a line.
Does a line lie in only one plane?
No. A line can lie in many planes. A plane can be defined by three non-linear points. Since a line is defined by only two points, we need another point. (Note that point C alone, or line AB alone belong to an infinite number of planes.)
What dimension is a line segment?
A line has one dimension. You can figure out how many dimensions a shape has by asking yourself how many coordinates you need to find a point within that shape. The points on a line can be described by just one number each, so it has one dimension. The points on a plane need two numbers to describe them (x and y coordinates), so a plane has two dimensions.
Which geographic Georgia line is described by the phrases in the box below?
Fall Line
What do you call two points that lie on the same line?
Any two points lie on the same line, since a line can be drawn through any two points.Three points that lie on the same line are described as being "collinear" points.
Can you name a line with three letters as long as all three points are on that line?
Typically, a line is named with two points on the line.
A set of three or more points not on the same line are points?
A set of three points not on the same line are points that define a unique plane.more than three points not on a plane are in a space (volume).
What points make a vertical line on a graph?
any points along the line described by the equation x=anything will give you a vertical line on a graph
Three or more points on a line?
well, a line consists of an infinite number of points the three important points on a line are start (the origin of the line) end (the end of the line) midpoint (halfway across the line)
Three points lying on the same straight line are called?
Points on the same line are called collinear points.
In geometry is it true that through any three points exists exactly one line?
No, given any three points, it is possible for one of the points not to be on the line defined by the other two points. Only two points on a line are needed to identify the exact position of the line. The positions of any three points gives you the exact position of the plane that includes those three points.No, it is not true. If it were true, all triangles would be straight lines !?!
If the points are on the same line then the points are collinear?
Three or more points that lie on the same straight line are called Collinear.
What do three points form in geometry?
A plane is named by three points in the plane that is not on the same line.
Noncollinear points lie on the same line?
You have to have three or more points to have non-colinear points because any two points determine a line. Noncolinear are NOT on the same line.
Three points are collinear true or false?
Not enough information. Collinear means the points are on the same line. If you have any three points, they may, or may not, be on the same line.
Do two points determine a plane?
No. Three points do. Two points determine a line.
