Question

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

Explanation:

Two distinct non - parallel lines in a plane intersect at exactly one point. Being horizontal, vertical or diagonal doesn't guarantee a single - point intersection. Lines extending infinitely in two directions is a general property of lines and doesn't ensure a single intersection. If the lines are the same line, there are infinitely many intersection points (all points on the line). Distinct lines that are not parallel will intersect at exactly one point.

Answer:

The lines are distinct
