- In the figure above l is parallel to m. If p (not shown) is another
line in the plane, what is the least number of points at
which p can intersect these four lines?
j and m form an “x”
line l------------------------------------------j--------m-------
line m-------------------------------------------------------
The drawing did not come out the right way
So l and m are parallel, j is a line not parallel to m, and lines j, l, m, p are in the same plane?
In that case, p only intersects at most three lines (not four) unless you didn’t specify a line.
The minimum # of intersection points with p and the lines j, l, m is one (e.g. when p is parallel to l and m).
