If points m, n, o, and p are arranged such that three of them lie on a straight line, there are two possible scenarios: either three points (e.g., m, n, o) are collinear and the fourth point (p) is not, or all four points are collinear. In the first case, there is one line formed by the three collinear points, and the fourth point can form additional lines with any two of the other three points. Therefore, if only three are collinear, there are multiple lines; if all four are collinear, there is just one line.
