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 distinct lines can be drawn through 2 points?
In plane (Euclidian) geometry there is only one line through two points. On a sphere, every meridian intersects the north and south poles.
If points A B and C all lie in a straight line but the other points are not on the line how many different lines can be drawn if each line contains at least two points?
2 lines, I believe.
How many lines can be drawn through a given point on a circle that is tangent to the circle?
Infinite lines because a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
What is a Chords in circles?
A chord is a straight line drawn through a circle which divides the circle into two parts. The line can be drawn anywhere in the circle EXCEPT the center where it becomes the diameter.
How many lines pass through points f and g?
exactly one
