Can two planes in three-dimensional space intersect at one point?
No, they intersect at a 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.
What would serve as a counter example to the statement Two planes intersect in exactly one line?
Two planes do not intersect at all if the planes are parallel in three-dimensional space.
Non-intersecting lines in different planes are?
They are called skew lines. Explanation: In 3 space, parallel lines must never intersect AND must be in the same plane. If they fail to intersect and are in different planes we call them skew lines.
How many planes can pass through a point in space?
Infinitely many.
Can two planes in three-dimensional space intersect at one point?
No, they intersect at a line.
Can two planes in three dimensional space intersect at one point?
No, the two planes intersect at a line, which is an infinite number of points.

What would serve as a counter example to the statement Two planes intersect in exactly one line?
Two planes do not intersect at all if the planes are parallel in three-dimensional space.
Can two planes that do not intersect be parallel?
No. By definition, planes can be extended in all directions to infinity. If they are not parallel, they will intersect somewhere.
What is the intersection of two planes?
If there are two unique, non-parallel planes in space, they will intersect, and their intersection will be a line.
What is the maximum number of times 2 planes can intersect?
In three-dimensional space, two planes can either:* not intersect at all, * intersect in a line, * or they can be the same plane; in this case, the intersection is an entire plane.
What do two lines intersect at?
two lines intersect at a single point in a 2D space assuming they are not parallel. in 3D space they can intersect again at a single point, or an infinite amount of points.
Are two planes that do not intersect parallel?
Yes... if they never intersect, then they are in fact, parallel.
Non-intersecting lines in different planes are?
They are called skew lines. Explanation: In 3 space, parallel lines must never intersect AND must be in the same plane. If they fail to intersect and are in different planes we call them skew lines.
How many planes can pass through a point in space?
Infinitely many.
How can a line and plan intersect in space?
A line cannot intersect in space. Space is a wide open space.
