Zero (if the line is parallel to the plane), one (generally), or an infinite number (if the line is within the plane).

How many points are you a intersection of a line and a plane?

There are two possible answers; if the line is crossing the plane at an angle, then the line and the plane only intersect at one point. However, if the line is part of the plane, then the entire line intersects with the plane, and there are an infinite number of intersecting points.


What is formed by the intersection of a line and a plane if the line does not lie in the plane?

When a line intersects a plane and does not lie in the plane, the intersection forms a single point. This point is where the line crosses the plane. If the line is parallel to the plane, however, there will be no intersection point.


Can a plane and a line ever intersect in two points?

In Euclidean geometry, they can only intersect in 0, 1 or infinitely many points. If there are two points of intersection then the whole line lies in the plane.


What is the intersection of a line and a plane?

The intersection of a line and a plane can result in either a single point, if the line passes through the plane, or no intersection at all if the line is parallel to the plane and does not touch it. In some cases, if the line lies entirely within the plane, every point on the line will be an intersection point. Thus, the nature of the intersection depends on the relative positions of the line and the plane.


The intersection of a plane and a line is?

If the line is not IN the plane ... it just zaps through the plane from some direction ... then it touches the plane in only one point. The intersection is a point.if it is lined up with the plane, then the intersection is a line.


What is the intersection of a plane and a line not on the plane?

point * * * * * or, nothing (if the line is parallel to the plane).


What do you find at the intersection of a plane an a line?

Unless the line is a subset of the plane, the intersection is a point.
