Question

The parallel postulate states that through a given point NOT on a line:
Select one:
a. there is exactly one line parallel to the given line.
b. there can never be a line parallel to the given line.
c. there is exactly one line perpendicular to the given line.
d. there can never be a line perpendicular to the given line.

Answer 1

This is the definition
parallel postulate. noun, Geometry. 1. the axiom in Euclidean geometry that only one line can be drawn through a given point so that the line is parallel to a given line that does not contain the point. Also called parallel axiom. ( ithought it would help)

Answer 2

Well, you pretty much answered your own question.

Answer 3

i dont see the answer in it thats my problem

Answer 4

A or C

Answer 5

in a flat plane, how many different lines can be parallel to another line. if the location is fixed by a point, only 1, a certain orientation exactly

Answer 6

"the axiom in Euclidean geometry that only one line can be drawn through a given point so that the line is parallel to a given line"

This implies that, given a line and a point not contained in such line, we can only draw one and only one line that is parallel to the given line through the point also given.

Answer 7

a. there is exactly one line parallel to the given line.

Answer 8

through a point, you can always just translate that around to make different ones

Answer 9

yeah, a

Answer 10

Thanks guys
