Question

Select the statement that best justifies the conclusion based on the given information,

Answer 1

Answer:

The third statement is true reason.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram given with this question.

The conclusion is that lines l₁ and line l₂ intersect only at point P.

A line contains at least two points - is not the reason for this conclusion.

Through any two different points, exactly one line exists - is also not the reason for the above conclusion because we are concerned about only P point here.

If two lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains both lines - is not the actual reason as there is no mention of a plane in the conclusion.

If two lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly one point - this gives the actual reason for the conclusion above and the only point of intersection of two lines l₁ and l₂ is point P only. (Answer)
