Yes. There can be a line perpendicular to the given line at every point on it,
and you know how many different points there are on it ...

How do you find the length and width of a rectangle given the area?
You can't. There are an infinite number of possible rectangles with a given area.
Are there fewer rational numbers than irrational numbers?
For any given subset, yes, because there are an infinite number of irrational numbers for each rational number. But for the set of ALL real numbers, both are infinite in number, even though the vast majority of real numbers would be irrational.
Why is it that an irrational number is never given for a person's weight?
Because you would need an infinite length of paper to print out the ticket.
How many planes can be perpendicular to a given line at a given point?
Only one
In the construction of a perpendicular bisector to a given line segment the perpendicular bisector passes through the vertices of two?
Equilateral triangles
What line is perpendicular to y equals -8x plus 6?
Any line whose slope is the negative reciprocal of that line's slope will be perpendicular to it. Given the format in which it's written, we can see that this line's slope is -8. This means that any line with a slope of 1/8 will be perpendicular to it. The most obvious one being: y = x/8 + 6 But there are an infinite number of lines with that slope, and thus an infinite number of lines that are perpendicular to the given one. For example, the line: y = x/8 + 258734095874390587423 is just as valid an answer.
Does every line have an infinite number of lines parallel to the given line?
Yes it's quite possible if need be.
Is it possible to construct an infinite number of lines that are perpendicular to any given line?
Yes, but only in principle. In practice, you won't live long enough. Putting it in more positive terms: No matter how many lines have already been drawn perpendicular to a given line [segment], there's always enough room for a lot more of them.
What number has five different prime factors?
Since there are an infinite number of prime numbers, there are infinite numbers with any given number of prime factors.
Infinite number of points equidistant from a given point?
a circle?
How many planes can intersect a line at a given point?
an infinite number; no limit
How do you find the length and width of a rectangle given the area?
You can't. There are an infinite number of possible rectangles with a given area.
How many planes contain a given line in space?
Given a line, there are an infinite number of different planes that it lies in.
How many points may a line contain?
A line, ray, or line segment contains an infinite number of points.
Which prime numbers are greater than 100?
There are an infinite number of primes greater than any number given.
What dos perpendicular mean?
Two lines are said to be perpendicular when they are at right angles. That means that the angle between them is 90 degrees.There are other meanings of perpendicular; for example, a line is said to be perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular to EVERY line of the plane that goes through the intersection.
What are all the prime factorizations?
You cannot list all the potential prime factors. Any prime number can be a prime factor. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, so there are an infinite number of potential prime factors. If given a specific number, the prime factors for it can be listed.
