Collinear means in the same straight line. And since a line consists of an infinite number of points, collinear has an infinite number of points - not just 3.
n the other hand, while any two points must be collinear (they have to both be on the line that joins them), it is always possible to find a third point which is not collinear with the first two (Euclid).

What is the difference between collinear and non collinear point?
Collinear points are three or more points lying on the same line.Non-collinear point are when less than three (not including three) points lie on a line.
If the points are on the same line then the points are collinear?
Three or more points that lie on the same straight line are called Collinear.
What defines a collinear point?
Collinear points are defined as three or more points that can be connected by a straight line. You can learn more about collinear points from the Math World website.
What is the difference between collinear and non collinear?
In order for three or more points to be collinear, they must lie on the same line. Two points would always be collinear. Noncollinear are points that do not lie in the same line.
True or false Any three points can be the verticies of a triangle?
False. Three collinear points determine a line while three non-collinear points determine a plane ( A Triangle)
