0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.

One.


How many points are needed to define a unique plane Are they any restrictions on the location of these points?

A unique plane is defined by three non-collinear points. This means that the points must not all lie on the same straight line. If the three points are collinear or if only two points are given, they do not suffice to define a unique plane. Thus, the key restriction is that the three points must be non-collinear.


If the points are on the same line then the points are collinear?

Can noncollinear points lie on a circle?

Yes. In fact, given any three non-collinear points, there is one (and only one) circle that passes through all three points.


What is the inverse of the statement if three points lie on a line then they are collinear?

The inverse of the statement "If three points lie on a line, then they are collinear" is "If three points are not collinear, then they do not lie on a line." This flips both the hypothesis and the conclusion, negating each. In essence, it asserts that if points do not meet the criteria of being collinear, they cannot be positioned on the same line.
