Verified answer
The three points on a line form ONE line; the fourth point forms THREE additional lines, one with each of the first three points. So, four in total.

When three points lie on a line what is one of them to the other two lines?
"... to the other two lines?". What other two lines? According to the question, there is only one line!
Three lines can intersect in only two points?
This is true. If three straight lines are drawn, they can only intersect at two points. That is, each line will only intersect with another once.
What is a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at different points?
It is a tranversal.
How many points are needed to determine a straight line?
You need two points to determine a line. A single point can have an infinite number of lines passing through it.
Is three distinct points always determine a line?
No, because Of any three points on a line there exists no more than one that lies between the other two.
How many lines are there in 100 points?
If the points are arranged on an imaginary line with one line connecting each point to its neighbor, there will be 99 lines (or line segments).
How many lines are determined by A B and C?
Three lines are determined by three points unless the points are all on the same line ( i.e. co-linear)
How many lines are in three collinear points?
only one line

Three lines can intersect in only two points?
This is true. If three straight lines are drawn, they can only intersect at two points. That is, each line will only intersect with another once.
In geometry is it true that through any three points exists exactly one line?
No, given any three points, it is possible for one of the points not to be on the line defined by the other two points. Only two points on a line are needed to identify the exact position of the line. The positions of any three points gives you the exact position of the plane that includes those three points.No, it is not true. If it were true, all triangles would be straight lines !?!
What is the definition of non collinear lines?
The definition of a non-collinear line is that this is a line on which points do not lie on one line. The opposite of this is a collinear point. Collinear points refer to three points that do fall on a straight line.
How many different lines are determined by three collinear points?
As long as at least two of them are different points, exactly one line.
Do three lines that intersect at the same point have to be at the same plane?
No they can be Collinear - Points that lie on the same line.
How many line can contain 3 non collinear points?
Two intersecting lines can always cover three non-collinear points.
How many lines contain n points with no 3 points collinear?
None. In ordinary geometry, a line contains an infinite number of points and, by definition, they are all collinear. In projective geometry, however, you can have three lines in the form of a triangle. Each line has only two points on it, so it cannot have 3 points collinear.
Can three lines intersect at only two points?
Yes. The easiest example is to take two parallel lines and use the third line as a transversal.
