The answer depends on whether any of the points are collinear: that is, whether they lie on the same line. No matter how many points you have, if they are all collinear you will have only one ray.
If you have N points, the maximum number of rays is attained when no three of them are collinear. This number is N*(N-1)/2.

What is the point in a common of the two rays that form an angle?
the vertex is the point where two rays begin and form and angle
What is formed by two rays joined at the same point?
An angle is formed when two rays begin at a common point. The common point is called the vertex of the angle.
The common end point of two rays?
angle
What is a vertex of an angle?
The vertex of an angle is the point at which the two rays that form the angle meet.opposite point
What does the term vertex mean in math?
common point of two rays or lines, note: rays and lines are the same thing!!
How many rays can be drawn in a given point?
infinite
Is it possible to construct an infinite number of lines through a point on any given line?
It is possible to construct an infinite number of lines through any line at a given point. You will not be able to physically draw them, but a filled in circle will all have rays that intersect the line at the same point.
What is the maximum number of different rays that can be formed on a line?
Infinitely many. There an infinite number of points on a line and each point can be an end point of two rays.
How many light rays are required to locate the image formed by a lens?
2 is the minimum number of light rays required to locate the image (of a point object) formed by a lens. First find the path of rays after refraction and then their point of intersection gives the location of the image.
What is the formula for finding numbers of segment and rays given numbers of point?
wew
What is the formula to find the number of rays?
b
How do to find the angle if two rays are given?
It depends on what information about the rays is given. If all you have is two rays drawn on a sheet of paper then you need to measure the angle using a protractor. If their equations are given - in standard or vector form, then there are formulae that will enable you to work out the angle between them.
Can a rays have the same point?
Yes, numerous rays can have the same point.
The point at which the rays of an angle intersect?
The point at which the rays of an angle intersect is the vertex.
What is the pattern in determining of numbers of angles form the given numbers of rays?
Number of rays subtracted by one and adding all previous numbers. Example : number of rays : 13 13-1=12 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=78 there are 78 angles in 13 rays. Or if you were given a sequence pattern. Number of rays. Number of angles. 1-0 2-1 3-3 4-6 5-10 6-? 7-? Get number of rays minus 1 then add it to the previous number of angles. 6-1=5 5 + 10 (number of angles in 5 rays) = 15 7-1=6 6 + 15 (number of angles in 6 rays) = 21 -werty-sama
What do lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
What do converging lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
