If three points all lie on the same line, then the points are said to be "collinear".

This is also true if the slope from each point to the next is the same.

What are the three points for coplanar but not collinear?

Two points (which must lie on a line) and the third point NOT on that line.


If you jump over the three point line when shooting the is it still a three?

Provided that you last touched the ground outside the three-point line, the shot should count as three points.


How do you find a point equidistant from three other points?

To find a point equidistant from three other points, construct perpendicular bisectors for two of the segments formed from three points. Note: this will be the center of the circle that has all three points on it's circumference. Three points, not in a straight line, form three pairs of points with each pair defining a different line. Take any pair of points and draw the perpendicular bisector of the line joining them. Repeat for one of the other pairs. These two perpendicular bisectors will meet at the point which is equidistant from all three points - the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the three points.

Three what points determine a plane?

Any three points will determine a plane, provided they are not collinear. If you pick any two points, you can draw a line to connect them. An infinite number of planes can be drawn that include the line. But if you pick a third point that does not lie on the line. There will be exactly one plane that will contain the line and that point you added last. Only oneplane can contain the line, which was determined by the first two points, and the last point.

Has the three point line affect basketball?

Well, I think you mean what is the three point line... well the three point line in basketball is a designated arc line radiating from the basket. If a player shoots beyond the three point line, it counts as three points while if you shoot inside the three point line, it only counts as two points.


Three points lying on the same straight line are called?

Points on the same line are called collinear points.


Three point line basketball?

The three point line is a line around the perimeter that if you shoot out of it and make it, it counts as 3 points.


How many points is worth a layup shot?

It depends on where you are when you shoot it. If your feet are behind the three point line, then the jump shot is worth 3 points if your feet are on or in front of the three point line then the jump shot is worth 2 points.


What are the three points for coplanar but not collinear?

What are the two-point shots in basketball and how do they differ from three-point shots?

Two-point shots in basketball are shots taken from inside the three-point line, which are worth two points. Three-point shots are taken from beyond the three-point line and are worth three points. The main difference is the distance from the basket and the number of points awarded for each shot.


How many points are scored for a basket shot from outside the three point line?

Two.


How many points is a basket worth inside the 3 point line?

A basket made from inside the three-point line is worth two points. This applies to field goals made from any part of the court within that area. Shots made from beyond the three-point line are worth three points.


What are three points that are all on a line called?

Three points that are all on a line are called "collinear points." These points lie on the same straight line, which means that if you were to draw a line through them, all three would be included on that line. Collinearity is a fundamental concept in geometry, often used to describe the relationship between points in a coordinate system.
