Best Answer

It means meet. Point of intersection is the point where shapes or lines meet.

With regard to sets, the intersection of two sets is the set of elements that are common to both sets. For example, the intersection of the set of the first five whole numbers and the set of the first five odd numbers is the set of the first three odd numbers. This is expressed as

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ∩ {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} = {1, 3, 5}
