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).

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.
Three or more points that lie on the same straight line are called Collinear.
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.
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.
False. Three collinear points determine a line while three non-collinear points determine a plane ( A Triangle)
