Best Answer

By solving simultaneous linear equations.

(If you don't know how to do this, it's a bit more complicated than can be detailed here, but basically you cast the equations for the two lines into the form

ax + by = z

and then see if there are any valid solutions to the equation a1x + b1y = a2x + b2y. If so, that's your answer. If not, the lines are skew and do not intersect.)

How many common points for intersection of four lines?

- If you're working on a single sheet of paper (2-D), then you can draw four lines that intersect in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 points. - If in 3-D space, then you can also draw four lines that don't intersect at all.
