Question

question 9 of 10

the point, line, and pair of intersecting lines are special types of conic sections.

a. true

b. false

Explanation:

Identify the definition of degenerate conic sections

$$ Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 $$

When the intersecting plane passes through the vertex of the double cone, the resulting intersection is a point, a single line, or a pair of intersecting lines.

Classify the given geometric figures

The point, line, and pair of intersecting lines are classified mathematically as degenerate conic sections, which are special limiting cases of standard conic sections.

Answer:

• A. True (Correct answer)
• B. False
