Only one plane can contain three specific points.
Infinitely many planes contain any two given points- it takes three (non-collinear) points to determine a plane.
Exactly one.
Anything that contains the line must contain every point on the line, so "a point on the line" doesn't give us any more information. You're just asking how many planes can contain the line. Now imagine setting a wood panel down on a tight-rope. How many different ways can it set there before it falls off ? A lot, right ? An infinite number of planes can all contain your line. (And all of its points.)
Three points can lie in more than one plane if they are not collinear. If the three points are non-collinear, they define a unique plane, but if they are collinear, they can lie on infinitely many planes that contain that line. Additionally, if you consider different orientations or positions of planes that intersect the line formed by the collinear points, these also contribute to the existence of multiple planes. Therefore, the arrangement and relationship of the points determine how many planes can contain them.
Three non-co-linear points are sufficient to uniquely define a single plane.
Infinitely many planes may contain the same three collinear points if the planes all intersect at the same line.

There is only one such plane.
There will always be a single plane through all three points.
Three points can lie in more than one plane if they are not collinear. If the three points are non-collinear, they define a unique plane, but if they are collinear, they can lie on infinitely many planes that contain that line.
