How many lines can pass through: two given points?

Open in App

Solution

Estimate the number of possible lines:
A line can be defined as a straight set of points that extend in opposite directions.
It has no ends in both directions and has no thickness.
It is one-dimensional.
Therefore, only one line can pass through two given points.
Hence, one line is possible through two given points.
