so it's not possible to have 2 straight lines intersect exactly twice
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
choice a is possible if you have 2 parallel lines
choice d is possible if you have one line right on top of the other line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think its d
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
choice d is possible if you have one line right on top of the other line
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
they are asking for something that is NOT possible, so that's choice C
