Colinear points mean that if you draw a (really long) line between any two of them, the line will pass through the others. Or simply: there can exist a straight line that can pass through all of them. These are colinear points: . .... .. One line can pass through all of them: These ar not colinear points: :. If I try to connect any two of them with a line, the third point will not lie on that line.
Yes.
If the points are collinear, the number of possible planes is infinite. If the points are not collinear, the number of possible planes is ' 1 '.
In Euclidean geometry, only one.
Infinitely many if the 3 distinct points are collinear. Otherwise just 1.
