Question

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

Explanation:

In a two - dimensional plane, two distinct non - parallel lines intersect at exactly one point. If lines are the same, there are infinitely many intersection points. Just extending infinitely doesn't guarantee a single intersection point. The orientation (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) is not the key factor for a single intersection point. Distinct non - parallel lines in a plane meet at one point.

Answer:

The lines are distinct
