How many non collinear points are needed to create a plane?
To create a plane, infinitely many. But to uniquely define one, 3 are enough.
How many points are needed to name a plane?
zero
What would happen if three collinear points are used to define a plane?
Three collinear points don't define a plane."Define" means narrow it down to one and only one unique plane, so that it can't be confused with any other one.There are many different planes (actually infinite) that can contain three collinear points, so no unique plane is defined.
How many points does a noncollinear plane has?
Any Euclidean plane has infinitely many points.
How many different lines are determined by two points?
In classical or Euclidean plane geometry two points defines exactly one line. On a sphere two points can define infinitely many lines only one of which will represent the shortest distance between the points. On other curved surfaces, or in non-Euclidean geometries, the number of lines determined by two points can vary. Even in the Euclidean plane, two points determine infinitely many lines that are not straight!
