In ordinary geometry (as opposed to affine geometry), a plane MUST consist of an infinite set of points.

How many points make a plane?

It takes three points to make a plane. The points need to be non-co-linear. These three points define a distinct plane, but the plane can be made up of an infinite set of points.


What are the set of points that are in the yz plane?

They are all of the infinite number of points whose x-coordinate is zero.


If a ray lays in a plane how many points of the ray are also in the plane?

If a ray lies in a plane, all points of the ray, including its endpoint and the infinite set of points extending in one direction, are also in that plane. Thus, there are infinitely many points of the ray that are in the plane.


What is the infinite set of points that is straight and terminates at its end points?

An infinite set can not terminate.


Is a segment on infinitive set of points?

No, but is an infinite set of points.


Is the set of points in a line finite or infinite?

Infinite.


Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?

An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.


What of all the points is the plane?

The set of all the points is the plane itself.


Is a segment an infinite set of points?

CIRCLE


What is the set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane?

The set of all points in the plane equidistant from one point in the plane is named a parabola.


What is a set of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane?

They are points on the circumference of a unique circle in the plane.


Is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point of the plane called the center?

That set of points forms what is known as a "circle".
