Question
if a ray lays in a plane, how many points of the ray are also in the plane?
all of the points
three points
two points
zero points
Step1: Recall the definition of a ray and a plane
A ray is a part of a line that starts at a point (the endpoint) and extends infinitely in one direction. A plane is a flat, two - dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.
Step2: Analyze the relationship between the ray and the plane
If a ray lies in a plane, it means that the entire ray is contained within the plane. Since the ray has its endpoint and all the points that are along its infinite extension, and the plane also extends infinitely, all the points of the ray (the endpoint and all the points in its infinite direction) must lie within the plane.
