Are points on the same side of a line in the same half plane?
Yes. If points are on the same side of a line, they are in a half-plane.
What do three points form in geometry?
A plane is named by three points in the plane that is not on the same line.
What is three points that are not on the same line called?
Plane
Describe a point a line and plane?
points that lines in the same plane are coplanor
Is it true if points are collinear they are also coplanar?
Yes, any points that are located on the same line will also be on the same plane. You can have more than one plane intersect a given line, but any points on that line will necessarily be on all the planes that intersect that line.
Are points on the same side of a line in the same half plane?
Yes. If points are on the same side of a line, they are in a half-plane.
Are points that are collinear also coplanar explain?
Points that are collinear will be located on the same line. A line is a subset of a plane. Therefore, Yes, points that are collinear will be located on the same plane.
What do three points form in geometry?
A plane is named by three points in the plane that is not on the same line.
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.
In general how many planes are there which contain any number of given points?
There are no planes containing any number of given points. Two points not the same define a line. Three points not in a line define a plane. For four or more points to lie in the same plane, three can be arbitrary but not on the same line, but the fourth (and so on) points must lie in that same plane.
Which of these is determined by three points that are not the same line?
A 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.
Is a line joining two points not necessarily in the plane containing the two points?
If it is a straight line it must be in the same plane. Otherwise not necessarily.
Is it true if points are collinear they are also coplanar?
Yes, any points that are located on the same line will also be on the same plane. You can have more than one plane intersect a given line, but any points on that line will necessarily be on all the planes that intersect that line.
