If a plane contains one point of a line then it must contain the entire line?
No, a plane can contain only one point of a line. Picture a piece of paper with a pencil stabbed through it. The paper is the plane, and the pencil is the line. The pencil/line only touches the paper/plane at one point. Hope this helped! If it did, please recommend me. -Brad
What is the intersecton of a plane and a line not contained in the plane?
Take a piece of paper and poke a pencil through it. That is a point.
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).
Lines on a hyperbolic plane are considered to be?
Hyperbolic geometry is a beautiful example of non-Euclidean geometry. One feature of Euclidean geometry is the parallel postulate. This says that give a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line going through the point which is parallel to the line. (That is to say, that does NOT intersect the line) This does not hold in the hyperbolic plane where we can have many lines through a point parallel to a line. But then we must wonder, what do lines look like in the hyperbolic plane? Lines in the hyperbolic plane will either appear as lines perpendicular to the edge of the half-plane or as circles whose centers lie on the edge of the half-plane
Can a plane contain one point of a line?
Yes, it can. A plane can contain any number of points of a line.
