Can three points be noncoplanar?
No, A plane can be drawn through any 3 points. If the 3 points are collinear then they make a line and a plane can contain a line. If the points are noncollinear then they can be used to form the corners of a triangle; all points of a triangle are in the same plane.
When do you say that 3 or more points are collinear?
3 or more points are colinear when they all fall on the same line on the same plane.
What are the meaning of collinear and coplanar points?
They are lines or points that lie on the same plane. Remember 3 or more points are collinear if they lie on the same line. IF those lines lie on the same plane they are coplanar.
What is the minimum number of points for a plane?
3.Any three points will determine a plane, provided they are not collinear. If you pick any two points, you can draw a line to connect them.
Does collinear have three points?
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 definition of coplanar points?
>Two points that lie on the same plane. Any pair of points on the plane will thus >form a line. (In most basic geometry classes, the majority of the class work is >only concerned with one plane) Any number of points can be coplanar. In fact, any 3 points are always coplanar, and if they are not colinear (all three on the same line), they define a unique plane.
Do 3 distinct points always lie on the same line?
Yes. Every line has an infinite number of distinct points.
What points are on the line given by the equation y 2x - 3?
-1
What is the Point system of professional basketball?
foul shot = 1 point any shot within or on the 3 point line = 2 points any shot beyond the 3 point line = 3 points
Does a vertical line have a slope of 0?
No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.
Can three points that define a particular plane also define a different plane?
Only if the 3 points are all in the same line. Then there are an infinite number of planes.If the 3 points are not all in the same line, then there is only one unique plane that contains them.That's what "define" means.
Can 3 collinear points define a plane?
No, they have to be noncolinear, that is they all can't be on the same line.
