How many points do you need to draw a line? Have we specified these points?
See solution.
Practice makes perfect
Let's draw a line and a point that is not on the line.
We know that to draw a line, we need at least two points. If we imagine a line as being made up of an infinite number of points, we actually have an infinite number of ways to draw the intersecting line. This is contrary to the statement. Let's show two examples of line that pass through the given point.
The given statement is very similar to the Perpendicular Postulate. But how is it different?
&If there is a line and a point not on
&the line, then there is exactly one line
&through the point that intersects and
&is perpendicular to the given line.
