Question

choose the correct answer.
what characteristic of two lines ensures that the intersection is exactly one point?
the lines are distinct
the lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
the lines are the same line
the lines extend infinitely in two directions

Explanation:

• If two lines are the same line, they have infinitely many intersection points.
• If lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, it doesn't directly ensure one - point intersection.
• Lines extending infinitely in two directions is a general property of lines but doesn't guarantee one - point intersection.
• Distinct lines (non - parallel and non - coincident) intersect at exactly one point.

Answer:

The lines are distinct.
