How many points are 4cm from a given line and 4 cm from a point on that line?
There are an infinity of points 4cm from a given line. These points form 2 lines parallel to and either side of the original line. Equally, there are an infinite number of points 4cm from a given point on the original line. These points lie on the circumference of a circle radius 4cm with its centre at the given point. There are only 2 points that fulfil both conditions. These points are found on the circumference of the circle where a diameter perpendicular to the original line and passing through the given point meets the circumference of the circle. These two points are also where the two parallel lines form tangents with the circle.
What is the definition of length?
Length is the distance - in given units - between two points on a line.
What does chord means in math terms?
A chord is a line segment between two points on a given curve. Basically it's two points that are connected with a line which all happens to be on a curve. Most likely a circle
Do a plane and a ray intersection form a line?
no 2 points form a line, 3 points form a plane
Which is not an equation of the line that passes through the points 1 1 and 5 5?
The equation for the given points is y = x+4 in slope intercept form

What is the points to form a line?
two points form a line. (x1,y1)(x2,y2)
How many points form a line?
one point can form a line! horizontally or vertically... but a line doesn't need any points.

The equation for the given points is y = x+4 in slope intercept form
What is a connection between two points?
The shortest distance between two points is a line, or a line segment. If you have two points, and you know they are part of a line, you can connect them with a line.
What is the prediction method used to estimate a point on a line that does not lie between the given points?
The answer is linear extrapolation.
If three points are given then how do you prove that they are collinear?
0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.
A portion of a line of a line that includes two points and the points between those two points?
It is a line segment.
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
