Can two points determine a plane?
No, 2 points define a line, 3 points define a plane.
Give a line and a point not on the line how many planes do they define?
They define one plane. A line is defined by two points, and it takes three points to define a plane, so two points on the line, and one more point not on the line equals one plane.
Does a plane have only two points?
No, two points define a line. It takes three points to define a plane.
How many points are necessary to define a line?
In Newtonian three dimensional space, two points can create a line, three to "define" it. In Einsteins "time-space", a minimum of four points are required.
How would you define lines?
line is a group of points
How you define a line in math?
A line is the shortest distance between two points.
How many points are needed to determine a unique line?
Two distinct (different) points are needed to determine a line.
Define line segment?
A line segment has two end points. This is called an line segment.
Why can you not define a line as an infinate set of points?
An infinite set of points can be a microscopically small line segment. An infinite number of points does not mean an infinitely long line.
Can three points that define a particular plane also define a different plane?
Only if the 3 points are all in the same line. Then there are an infinite number of planes.If the 3 points are not all in the same line, then there is only one unique plane that contains them.That's what "define" means.
What undefined terms are needed to define a line segment?
13
What are the two specific points of a line segment?
Any line segment has infinitely many points and each one of them is specific to that line segment.
