A straight line MUST lie in a plane. A curved line may or may not.

If points of a line lie on a plane does the whole line lie on the plane?

Yes.


True or false p lies in plane b the line containing p and q must lie in plane b?

False. In order for the line PQ to lie in plane B, then both P and Q must lie in plane B.


A line and two points are guaranteed to be coplanar if?

Do a line and a point not on that line lie in one and only one plane?

Yes because a line can lie in many planes so one we add one point not on that line, we define a unique plane.


Does a plane containing 2 points of a line contains the entire line?

Yes, a plane containing 2 points of a line contains the entire line. Let us consider two points on a plane and then draw a line segment joining those two points. Since the points lie on the plane so line segment has to lie completely on that plane too. Now if we extend the line segment indefinitely in both directions we get a line and that line also has to lie on the same plane since some definite part(line segment) of it(line) also lies on the same plane.


A line and a point not on the line lie in exactly one plane?

True.


Points that line on the same plane?

Points or lines that lie on the same plane are coplanar.


What is A line and a point not on the line lie in exactly one plane?

It is a Geometry Theorem. "A line and a point not on the line lie in exactly one place" means what it says.


If three points are coplanar then are they collinear?

Not necessarily. Coplanar means that points lie on the same plane whereas collinear means that points lie on the same line. Points on a plane do not necessarily lie along the same line.


Does A line passing through two distinct points in one plane always sometimes or never lie completely in that plane?

Always; although that line can lie in infinitely many planes.
