No, it is true. It is false if the line is a vector but not otherwise.

When three points on a line are used to name the line the points can be given in either order?

If there are three points, there are six possible orders, while "either" implies one of two! Leaving that aside, convention requires that, in elementary mathematics, the points are given in order - in either direction (ad there are only two possible directions). However, that is not the case with vectors. The order of the points is critical for vectors because, in vector algebra AB = -BA

False ( apex )


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.


True or false When two points on a line are used to name the line the points must always be given in alphabetical order?

It's conventional, rather than compulsory.


What is the slope of a line passing through the two points - Round your answer to the nearest tenth?

That depends on the points in order to find the slope whereas no points have been given.


Which is longest a line segment a ray or a line?

A straight line may be extended in either direction indefinitely. A ray is the part of the straight line beginning at a given point and extending limitlessly in one direction. A line segment is a part of the straight line between two of its points, including the two points.


What do all points between two given points on a line form?

Normally a straight line segment.


How many points may a line contain?

A line, ray, or line segment contains an infinite number of points.


When two points on a line are used to name the line the points must always be given in alphabetical order?

Normally, you would do this, but there are exceptions. For example, the sides of a triangle are ab=10, bc=12, ca=15.


Locus of all points which are the same distance from two given points?

line


What is needed to determine a line?

Two points determine a line. Also there is one and only line perpendicular to given line through a given point on the line,. and There is one and only line parallel to given line through a given point not on the line.


What points are on the line given by the equation y -3x 5?

But it's not an equation because there is no equal sign and no points are given.
