Do planes intersect at a point?

No, planes intersect at a line.


Do two planes intersect at a point or a line?

Two planes intersect at a line


Can a given line be in two planes?

Two planes intersect at a line. The line where they intersect pertains to both planes. In the same manner, if infinitely many planes intersect each other at the same line, then that line pertains to the infinitely many planes.


If two planes intersect what is their intersection called?

A line. When two planes intersect, their intersection is a line.


Can Three distinct planes can intersect at a line?

Yes, it is possible for three distinct planes to intersect at a line.


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.


How many planes intersect to form a line?

A minimum of 2, but an infinite number of planes can intersect at the same line.


Do Two planes always intersect in a line?

Some planes are parallel and don't intersect at all. Those that do intersect (and that are not coincident, i.e. the same plane) intersect in a line.


When two planes intersect do they intersect in a straight line?

Yes. If two planes are not coincident (the same plane) and are not parallel, then they intersect in one straight line.


Two planes intersect in a line?

Yes, the intersection of 2 planes is a line.


Could the intersection of 3 planes be a line?

The intersection of 2 non-parallel planes is always a line.The intersection of 3 planes doesn't have to be a line, but it can be. If it is,then there are an infinite number of other planes that can also intersect thosethree along the same line.


How many Two planes intersect in exactly?

Two distinct planes will intersect in one straight line.
