Yes since 3 non-collinear points determine a plane. Of course one can take any two of the three points and draw a line between them. There are an infinite number of planes going through this line. Now pick on more point, not on the line, and those three points uniquely determine a plane.

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.


How many perpendicular can we draw to a line from a given point outside the line?

In a Euclidean plane, only one.


How many perpendiculars can we draw to a line from a given point outside the line?

In a Euclidean plane, only one.


Can three points determined a plane?

Yes, three points determine a plane unless they are in a straight line. A plane is two dimensions a line is only one. You need a third point(not in the line) to define a plane.


Point is to line as line is to?

Plane. A point has no dimension, a line has one dimension, and a plane has two dimensions.

where does a plane intersect in geometry?

A plane intersects a line at a point, and i plane intersects another plane at a line.


When does a plane and line intersect at one point?

When the line is inclined to the plane. That is, it is not in the plane nor is it parallel to it.
