-lie in the same plane -are collinear
Three or more points are collinear if they are all in the same straight line. They are non collinear if at least one of them is not on the same line as the rest. Four or more points are coplanar if they are all in the same plane. They are non coplanar if at least one of them is not on the same plane as the rest.
The answer depends on the number of point. One point - as the question states - cannot be non-collinear. Any two points are always collinear. But three or more points will define a plane. If four points are non-coplanar, they will define four planes (as in a tetrahedron).
No. A trinagle does not require four points, three are sufficient. And any three points, if they are not colinear, must be coplanar.
