How can you construct a parallelogram?
Use two line segments (line A and line B) with all points on line A equidistant from all points on line B; in otherwords, use 2 parallel lines. Choose two points on line A (points a and b). Now choose 2 points on line B (x and y) so that the distance of line ab equals the distance of line xy. Connect points a and y with a line segment ab and points b and z with a line segment bz. In simpler words, take two parallel line segments of equal length, and connect their endpoints with two other line segments.
If points A B and C all lie in a straight line but the other points are not on the line how many different lines can be drawn if each line contains at least two points?
2 lines, I believe.
What are the values of b and c when y plus 4x equals 11 is the perpendicular bisector line of the line joining b 2 to 6 c on the Cartesian plane?
If the points are (b, 2) and (6, c) then to satisfy the straight line equations it works out that b = -2 and c = 4 which means that the points are (-2, 2) and (6, 4)
What is the slope of the line passing through points A (5,4) and B(0,3)?
1:5
How many points do you need to name a ray segement?
Just like line segments or lines, you just need two points to name them. Line ---.-----.-----------------.--------------> A B C D Line= AB Line= BC Ray= CD
If points a and b lie on the same line what are they called?
We use the word "collinear" to mean points on the same line.
What are two or more points called if they lie on the same line?
Points on the same line are collinear (co-linear) points.
Points A B and C lie along the same line What can these points be called?
Collinear.
How many planes can be determined by A B and C?
If points A, B, and C are not on the same line, they determine a single plane.
What is the working mans definition of A B C are collinear?
The thre points A, B, and C are collinear if they are in the same line.
A parabola is the set of all points that A are the same distance from a point and a line B are the same distance from one point C are the same distance from two points?
Alternates are fill-in-the-blank version of this Q. are the same distance from a point and a line

Is points B and C are collinear?
If points B and C are collinear, it means that they lie on the same straight line. To determine if points B and C are collinear, you would need to know the coordinates or have a visual representation of the points.
Does a and b lie only on one line?
If you have two points, a and b, you can draw only one line that will go through both points. Or in other words, two points define a line.
Given two points A and B in the three dimensional space what is the set of points equidistant from A and B?
A plane is the set of all points in 3-D space equidistant from two points, A and B. If it will help to see it, the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from points A and B in the plane will be a line. Extend that thinking off the plane and you'll have another plane perpendicular to the original plane, the one with A and B in it. And the question specified that A and B were in 3-D space. Another way to look at is to look at a line segment between A and B. Find the midpoint of that line segment, and then draw a plane perpendicular to the line segment, specifying that that plane also includes the midpoint of the line segment AB. Same thing. The set of all points that make up that plane will be equidistant from A and B. At the risk of running it into the ground, given a line segment AB, if the line segment is bisected by a plane perpendicular to the line segment, it (the plane) will contain the set of all points equidistant from A and B.
How many lines are determined by A B and C?
Three lines are determined by three points unless the points are all on the same line ( i.e. co-linear)
What is the measure of line segment AB if A is 5 and B is 30 degrees?
The question cannot be answered. If AB is a line segment then A and B are normally the end-points of that segment. If A and B are points then A cannot be 5 and B cannot be 30 degrees. If A and B are not end-points of a line segment, it is not at all clear from the question what they are and how they relate to the line segment, AB.
