It depends on how you define "ways" and how you define "lines" and how you define "intersect" and what kind of geometry you're talking about, but in Euclidean geometry, lines either never intersect, or they intersect at a single point, or they can intersect at all points within the lines.

How many different ways can coplanar lines intersect?

Coplanar lines can intersect an infinite amount of times.


Counterexample for two lines in a plane always intersect in exactly one point?

Line #1 ==> Y = x Line #2 ==> Y = x + 1 These two lines are parallel, have no points in common, and never intersect. (3 ways to say the same thing)


Can two different planes intersect a line?

Yes, there are three ways that two different planes can intersect a line: 1) Both planes intersect each other, and their intersection forms the line in the system. This system's solution will be infinite and be the line. 2) Both planes intersect the line at two different points. This system is inconsistent, and there is no solution to this system. However, both planes will still be intersecting the same line, albeit at different locations on the line. 3) Both planes intersect each other, but their intersection does NOT form the line in the system. However, if the line in the system intersects the planes' intersection, then they will all intersect a single point. The solution will be finite and be a single point. There are also 3 ways two different planes WON'T both intersect a line. 1) The two planes and the line are all parallel to each other, and none of them intersect each other. 2) The line is parallel to one plane, but intersects the other plane. 3) The same as #2, but now the line is parallel to the other plane and intersects the one plane.


Can you give a picture of two rays that do not intersect?

How does one get rid of frown lines?

There are many ways in which one would be able to rid themselves of frown lines. One would be able to get rid of these lines by using essential oils such as olive oil.
