To prove = Lines 1 and 2 have only one point in common. Proof = Suppose lines 1&2 intersects at two points say P & Q .Then line 1 contains points P & Q. Also, line 2 contains points P & Q. So two lines 1 & 2 pass through two distinct points P & Q. But only one line can pass through two different points....
