Math Problem Statement
Line m intersects plane R at a single point. Select the correct figure.
Solution
The question is asking which figure represents a line intersecting plane at a single point.
Analysis of Options:
- A: Line is shown perpendicular to plane , intersecting at one point. This matches the description of a line intersecting a plane at a single point.
- B: Line and plane appear to be parallel, so they would not intersect at any point. This does not fit the description.
- C: Line is lying on plane , meaning it would intersect at multiple points, not a single one. This is also incorrect.
- D: A point is shown on plane , but there’s no line shown intersecting at a single point, so this is not the correct option.
Conclusion:
The correct figure is A, where line intersects plane at a single point.
