Best Answer

In plane geometry a line is a two dimentional object between two points. If a line or a point is not on the line it, by definition, does not contain them. The answer therefor is infinite. Unless it is a closed line which has a slightly different definition but the answer is the same.

How many lines can intersect at a point?

How many lines can intersect at a point? Here is the REAL answer to that question. Intersecting lines have only one point in common, a Line is a endless straight path and it haves a made up of a continuous collection of points. Well what do u think... a line can intersect with and other line together forming into intersecting lines.

Exactly one. No more and no less.


How many planes can contain a line and a point on the line?

Anything that contains the line must contain every point on the line, so "a point on the line" doesn't give us any more information. You're just asking how many planes can contain the line. Now imagine setting a wood panel down on a tight-rope. How many different ways can it set there before it falls off ? A lot, right ? An infinite number of planes can all contain your line. (And all of its points.)
