In plane (Euclidian) geometry there is only one line through two points. On a sphere, every meridian intersects the north and south poles.

How many lines can be drawn to a given points?

Through any two distinct points, exactly one straight line can be drawn. If you have more than two points, the number of lines that can be drawn depends on how many of those points are distinct and not collinear. For ( n ) distinct points, the maximum number of lines that can be formed is given by the combination formula ( \binom{n}{2} ), which represents the number of ways to choose 2 points from ( n ). If some points are collinear, the number of unique lines will be less.


How many lines can be drawn through one point?

uncountable lines can be drawn through one point.


How many distinct lines can drawn through two fixed points?

Through any two fixed points, exactly one distinct line can be drawn. This is a fundamental principle in geometry, as two points uniquely determine a straight line. No other line can pass through both points, ensuring the uniqueness of the line connecting them.


How many lines can be drawn through 5 non collinear points?

Through any two distinct points, exactly one line can be drawn. For 5 non-collinear points, each pair of points can form a line. The number of ways to choose 2 points from 5 is given by the combination formula ( \binom{5}{2} ), which equals 10. Therefore, 10 lines can be drawn through 5 non-collinear points.


How many lines can be drawn through eight points?

Only one line can be drawn through eight points.


How many distinct lines can be drawn through a fixed line?

Infinite lines as for example the diameter of a circle


What the name of straight lines that can be drawn through one points?

line segments


How many lines can be drawn through both of the two given points?

One.


How many lines can be drawn through two fixed points?

In Euclidian or plane geometry, there can be only one line through two fixed points. Lines cannot actually be drawn; if you see it it is not a geometric line. If the points are on a curved surface as in a geometry that is non-Euclidian, then there can be infinitely many lines connecting two points.


How many lines can be drawn through 2 points?

1 straight line. An infinite number of curved lines.


How many lines can be drawn through two points?

If you're talking about straight lines (not curves) the answer is one.


How many lines can cross a point?

An infinite number of lines can be drawn through a single point, but only one through two points (of course, if the points don't have the same coordinates).
