Two distinct lines in a plane

Two distinct lines in a plane

  • A. always intersect
  • B. always either intersect or are parallel
  • C. always have two common points
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

Two distinct lines in a plane can either intersect at exactly one point or be parallel (no points of intersection). They cannot have two common points because that would imply they are the same line. Thus, option B correctly states they always either intersect or are parallel.
