A transversal
Different pairs of angles have different names.
A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines in the plane at different points.
A line intersect is a point on a line where another line or object crosses the line.
The line that crosses the y-axis is called the intercept.
the goal line
it is not a touchdown because the ball never broke the plane.
The x intercept
The point where a line crosses the x-axis is called the x-intercept.
The Asymptote
== == == == When the ball is advanced past the end zone line it is called a touchdown. It is worth 6 points. A touchdown can be scored on offense or defense by any player. A touchdown can also be scored if there is a fumble in the end zone, and the team that scored on that end zone recovers the fumble.
Obligue
It is called the x-intersect.
It depends on whether or not he has the ball in his hands when he hits the ground of the endzone. If it is not in his possession, then it is a fumble and can be recovered by a defender. If it is in his hands and he touches the endzone, then it is a touchdown. If he was in possession of the ball when the ball crossed the goal line, it's a touchdown. As soon as the ball breaks the plane of the goal line, the ball is dead and the play is over. Anything that happens after that is irrelevant.
A transversal
The ball has to be in the touchdown zone. If it is above the zone it is still a touchdown. Take Troy Polamalu's touchdown on Dec,12,2010. He dived, broke the plane of the goal line but he was holding the football above the zone so it counts as a touchdown. In some cases the ref might not count it.
