Question

if two distinct lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly one point. postulate #3: if two distinct planes intersect, then their intersection is a line. postulate #4: if you have three distinct noncollinear points, then there is exactly one plane that contains them. what is the minimum number of points needed to define a line? 0 1 10

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line - point relationship

In geometry, a line is defined by at least two distinct points. One point alone cannot define a line as it has no length or direction. Zero points clearly cannot define a line. And 10 points are more than the minimum required. So the minimum number of points needed to define a line is 2.

Answer:

2
