A ray is a straight path of points that goes on forever in only one direction. A line would go on forever in two directions.

What is the maximum number of points of intersection when two circles and five straight lines intersect each other?

When two circles intersect, they can create a maximum of 2 intersection points. Each straight line can intersect with each of the two circles at a maximum of 2 points, contributing 10 points from the lines and circles. Additionally, the five straight lines can intersect each other, yielding a maximum of ( \binom{5}{2} = 10 ) intersection points. Therefore, the total maximum points of intersection are ( 2 + 10 + 10 = 22 ).


Are lines part of a ray?

No, because a line goes forever in opposite directions of each other. A ray goes forever in one direction.


What is a line in math?

The shortest distance between any 2 points. An ideal zero-width, infinitely long, perfectly straight curve (the term curve in mathematics includes "straight curves") containing an infinite number of points. In Euclidean geometry, exactly one line can be found that passes through any two points.A line in math is a straight line that goes forever on each side.


What is the shortest distance between four points?

The shortest distance between four points is a straight line to and from each individual point. If all four points are aligned, the result will be a single straight line through all four points.


Is one of the guys on one direction gay?

No member of One Direction has commented that they are homosexual. It can be assumed, therefore, that each member is straight.


Can nine straight lines can be drawn from nine collinear points?

Yes. You can draw infinitely many straight lines from each point.


When does a triangle exist?

How can your hair change from straight to curly?

The helical structure of the hair remains the same, but the orientation of the strands changes. At the points where the curls begin, the outer layer develops tiny kinks, while the inner layer becomes straighter. This means that the direction of each straight hair strand shifts around the hair shaft.


Can each plane be uniquely defined by three points?

Yes, a plane can be uniquely defined by three points as long as the three points are not colinear. (Three points are colinear if there is a straight line that passes through all three points.)


If points A B and C all lie in a straight line but the other points are not on the line how many different lines can be drawn if each line contains at least two points?

2 lines, I believe.


What does a line segment look like?

A line segment is a straight line with two points at the end of each side of the line.


What is flaming left hand rule?

Stretch the thumb the first finger and the central finger of the left hand so that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the first four finger points in the direction of magnetic field the central finger points in the direction of current then the thumb points in the direction of motion of the conductor is known as fleming's left hand rule. by Prosenjit.
