How many planes intersect to form a line?
A minimum of 2, but an infinite number of planes can intersect at the same 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.
How many planes can pass through line?
-- An infinite number of different planes can intersect the same line. -- The same line can lie in an infinite number of different planes. -- An infinite number of different lines can intersect the same plane.
Do two distinct planes intersect in a pair of lines?
No. The planes must either coincide (they are the same, and intersect everywhere), be parallel (never intersect), or intersect in exactly one line.
Can two planes intersect in a ray or a segment explain why?
In 3d space, two planes will always intersect at a line...unless of course they are the same plane (they coincide). Because planes are infinite in both directions, there is no end point (as in a ray or segment). So, your answer is neither, planes intersect at a line.
