IN THIS CHAPTER WE SHALL STUDY ABOUT COLLINEAR POINTS ,
INTERSECTING LINES , PARALLEL LINES AND CONCURRENT LINES
INTRODUCTION
❑POINT-A point has an exact location .It has no length,no breath and no height
.A POINT A
❑LINE-A line is a straight path which extends endlessly in both directions.So it has
no end points
A B LINE AB
PLANE
• Plane is a flat surface which extends endlessly in all directions .The table top ,the
surface of blackboard are some of the examples of planes.All these have flat
surface.
❑RAY-A ray has one end point and it extends endlessly in one direction
o A RAY OA
❑LINE SEGMENT-A line segment is a portion of line.It has two end points.It
has a definite length.
P Q LINE SEGMENT PQ
PROPERTIES OF A POINT AND A LINE
❑PROPERTY-1
An unlimited number of lines can be drawn passing through a given point in a plane
❑PROPERTY-2
One and only one line can be drawn passing through two given points in a plane.This
line lies completely in the plane.
COLLINEAR POINTS
❑Three or more points in a plane which lie on the same line are called COLLINEAR
POINTS.
A B C
In this figure POINT ABC lie on a line so they are called COLLINEAR POINTS
❑The points which do not lie on a plane are called NON-COLLINEAR POINTS
A
C
B
In this figure POINT ABC do not lie on a line so they are called NON-COLLINEAR
POINTS
INTERSECTING LINES
❑Two lines in a plane which cut each other at one point are INTERSECTING LINES.
l
m
In this line l is parallel to line m
❑Some examples of parallel lines
1-Window lines
2-Railway track lines
3-Lines on rulled paper
CONCURRENT LINES
❑Three or more lines in a plane which pass through the same point are called
CONCURRENT LINES.
l
D m
n
❑The point through which these lines pass is called POINT OF CONCURRENCE
❑Some examples of concurrent lines are –
A B C
D F
