they lie in the same plane
Two points (which must lie on a line) and the third point NOT on that line.
Transversal
Definition of Coplanar points: Coplanar means that the points are on the equal plane. Plane is a two-dimensional object, with as such is a bit more complicated.Collinear,line,plane and point are the related terms of coplanar.Points that are on the same plane. 2 points are alwayscoplanar...3 points are always coplanar...4 points are sometimes coplanar.
Yes. Any two points are always coplanar.

(In most basic geometry classes, the majority of the class work is >only concerned with one plane) Any number of points can be coplanar. In fact, any 3 points are always coplanar, and if they are not colinear (all three on the same line), they define a unique plane.
they lie in the same plane
No, a line cannot contain four non-coplanar points. By definition, coplanar points are points that lie in the same plane, and any three points determine a plane. Since a line consists of an infinite number of points that are linear, any additional point beyond two points on a line will not be able to create a non-coplanar arrangement with those already on the line. Thus, four points on a line must be coplanar.

transversal
It is a tranversal.
Yes. Any two points are always coplanar.
If two points are coplanar, they lie on the same plane.
They are coplanar if the line joining any two of them intersects the line joining the other two.
Think of an H one line intersects two others, this is called transversal
