Can three rays intersect at more than one point?

No. Ray= A finite beginning and no finite end. A ray is a linear projection in one direction. If three rays begin at the same point of origin they will never intersect again given their respective directions. Same goes for the situation of them beginning at different P.O.O's; it's only physically possible for them to intersect at one point then after. (Unless of course you bring into the picture mirrors and different mediums wherein the index could possibly cause them to reflect/refract and change their paths.. then they could possibly intersect at more than one point... BUT generally/simply speaking NO three rays cannot intersect at more than one point :-) )


Does the graph of a system of equations intersect at more than 1 point?

Sometimes. Not always.


Can two distinct lines intersect in more than one point explain?

Yes. Any two distinct lines of longitude, for example, meet at two points - the poles. On a plane, though, two points define a unique line. So if two lines intersect at more than one point they must be coincident.


Can a system of linear equation have more than one solutions?

No. A linear equation represents a straight line and the solution to a set of linear equations is where the lines intersect; two straight lines can only intersect at most at a single point - two straight lines may be parallel in which case they will not intersect and there will be no solution. With more than two linear equations, it may be that they do not all intersect at the same point, in which case there is no solution that satisfies all the equations together, but different solutions may exist for different subsets of the lines.


Can there be more than one point of intersection between the graphs of two linear equations why or why not?

No because the 2 straight lines can only intersect one another at one particular point

What is converging length?

Converging lens refers to a type of lens that is thicker at the center than at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to converge to a focal point. This focal point is where the light rays intersect after passing through the lens, creating a real image.


Does a trapezoid have more than two vertices?

it has 4 vertices, a vertice is a point were two lines intersect


Why do some systems of equations have one solution?

If it is a linear system, then it could have either 1 solution, no solutions, or infinite solutions. To understand this, think of two lines (consider a plane which is just 2 dimensional - this represents 2 variables and 2 equations, but the idea can be extended to more dimensions).If the 2 lines intersect at a point, then that point represents a solution. If the lines are parallel, then they never intersect, and there is no solution. If the equations are such that they are just different ways of describing the same line, then they intersect at every point, so there are infinite solutions. If you have more than 2 lines then maybe some of them will intersect, but this is not a solution for the whole system. If all lines intersect at a single point, then that is the single solution for the whole system.If you have equations that describe something other than a straight line, then it's possible that they may intersect in more than one point.
