it is, unless all three points are in the same line

Four non-collinear points can form exactly one plane. This is because a plane is defined by three non-collinear points, and adding a fourth point that is not in the same line as the other three does not create a new plane; rather, it remains within the same plane defined by the initial three points. Therefore, all four points lie in the same unique plane.
A plane is defined by three points, so a three legged stool is stable because the points on the end of the stool's legs are coplanar
No, given any three points, it is possible for one of the points not to be on the line defined by the other two points. Only two points on a line are needed to identify the exact position of the line. The positions of any three points gives you the exact position of the plane that includes those three points.No, it is not true. If it were true, all triangles would be straight lines !?!
They define one plane. A line is defined by two points, and it takes three points to define a plane, so two points on the line, and one more point not on the line equals one plane.
A plane is named by three points in the plane that is not on the same line.
