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.

If a plane contains one point of a line then it must contain the entire line?
No, a plane can contain only one point of a line. Picture a piece of paper with a pencil stabbed through it. The paper is the plane, and the pencil is the line. The pencil/line only touches the paper/plane at one point. Hope this helped! If it did, please recommend me. -Brad
How do you graph a line with one point?
If you're only given one point, you can't draw the graph of the line, because there are an infinite number of different lines that all go through that one point. Or, to put it another way, if someone gives you a single point and asks you to draw the line through it, you can draw any old line you want through that point, and nobody can say it's wrong. In order to pin it down to one unique line, you need another piece of information in addition to the one point: either the slope of the line, or another point.
What is true of a line and point not on the line?
The line and the point define a plane.
Point is to line as line is to?
Plane. A point has no dimension, a line has one dimension, and a plane has two dimensions.
What is A line and a point not on the line lie in exactly one plane?
It is a Geometry Theorem. "A line and a point not on the line lie in exactly one place" means what it says.
Do a line and a point not on that line lie in one and only one plane?
Yes because a line can lie in many planes so one we add one point not on that line, we define a unique plane.
What is the measurement from one point to another point?
A line
What is the place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
Does a line segment have one more point than a ray?
A line segment has one more point than a ray
What is the intersecton of a plane and a line not contained in the plane?
Take a piece of paper and poke a pencil through it. That is a point.
A point has zero deminsion and a line has two?
Point, zero; line, one: length but no width
What postulate or theorem guarantees that there is only one line that can be constructed perpendicular to a given line from a given point not on the line?
It's the theorem that says " One and only one perpendicular can be drawn from a point to a line. "
