Points Lines and Planes

Points are represented by dots and labeled with capital letters. Lines extend indefinitely, are labeled with lowercase letters or two points, and have no thickness. Planes are flat surfaces that extend indefinitely, can be labeled with capital letters or three non-collinear points. The document defines collinear points, coplanar objects, and the possible intersections of lines and planes, which can be points, lines, or no intersection.

Lesson 1-1

Point, Line, Plane

Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 1


Points
 Points do not have actual size.

 How to Sketch: A

B C
A
Using dots

 How to label:

Use capital letters

Never name two points with the same letter


(in the same sketch).
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 2
Lines
 Lines extend indefinitely and have no thickness or width.
 How to sketch : using arrows at both ends.

n A
B
C
 How to name: 2 ways
(1) small script letter – line n
(2) any two points on the line - AB , BC, AC , BA, CA, CB
 Never name a line using three points - ABC

Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 3


Collinear Points
 Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. (The line does
not have to be visible.)
 A point lies on the line if the coordinates of the point satisfy the
equation of the line.
Ex: To find if A (1, 0) is collinear with
the points on the line y = -3x + 3. A B C
Substitute x = 1 and y = 0 in the equation.
Collinear
0 = -3 (1) + 3
0 = -3 + 3 C
0=0 A
The point A satisfies the equation, therefore the point is collinear B
with the points on the line. Non collinear
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 4
Planes
 A plane is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions.
 How to sketch: Use a parallelogram (four sided figure)

 How to name: 2 ways


(1) Capital script letter – Plane M
(2) Any 3 non collinear points in the plane - Plane: ABC/ ACB / BAC /
BCA / CAB / CBA

A
M
B
C
Horizontal Plane Vertical Plane Other
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 5
Different planes in a figure:
A B
Plane ABCD
D C
Plane EFGH
E
F Plane BCGF
H G
Plane ADHE
Plane ABFE
Plane CDHG
Etc.
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 6
Other planes in the same figure:
Any three non collinear points determine a plane!

A B Plane AFGD
D Plane ACGE
C
Plane ACH
E F
Plane AGF
H G Plane BDG
Etc.
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 7
Coplanar Objects
Coplanar objects (points, lines, etc.) are objects that lie on
the same plane. The plane does not have to be visible.
A B Are the following points coplanar?
D A, B, C ? Yes
C
A, B, C, F ? No
E H, G, F, E ? Yes
F
E, H, C, B ? Yes
A, G, F ? Yes
H G C, B, F, H ? No

Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 8


Intersection of Figures
The intersection of two figures is the set of points that are
common in both figures.
The intersection of two lines is a point.

Line m and line n intersect at point P.


P
n Continued…….

Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 9


3 Possibilities of Intersection of a Line and a Plane

(1) Line passes through plane – intersection is a point.


(2) Line lies on the plane - intersection is a line.
(3) Line is parallel to the plane - no common points.

Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane 10


Intersection of Two Planes is a Line.

B P
A

Plane P and Plane R intersect at the line AB
