What are three or more points not all of which lie on the same line?
if there are three or more points not all of which lie on the same line then they are known as non linear pointsif there are specifically three points not all of which lie on the same line then they are known as coplanar points as they will always lie on one plane
What are two or more points called if they lie on the same line?
Points on the same line are collinear (co-linear) points.
What do you call two points that lie on the same line?
Any two points lie on the same line, since a line can be drawn through any two points.Three points that lie on the same line are described as being "collinear" points.
Points that do not all lie on the same line are called?
Noncollinear points are points which are not all on a common line.
How do you know if points are collinear?
Points are collinear if they lie on the same line.
What are three or more points not all of which lie on the same line?
if there are three or more points not all of which lie on the same line then they are known as non linear pointsif there are specifically three points not all of which lie on the same line then they are known as coplanar points as they will always lie on one plane
When you say three points collinear?
Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.
Do three coplanar points lie on the same line?
They lie in the same plane, but they don't necessarily have to lie on the same line. Every triangle consists of three points that are coplanar but non-colinear.
If the points are on the same line then the points are collinear?
Three or more points that lie on the same straight line are called Collinear.
If three points are coplanar then are they collinear?
Not necessarily. Coplanar means that points lie on the same plane whereas collinear means that points lie on the same line. Points on a plane do not necessarily lie along the same line.
What are collinear points?
Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. Noncollinear points do not lie on the same line. Any two points are always collinear, i.e. forming a line. Three or more points can be collinear along a single line.Collinear points lies on the same straight line.
What are two or three points if they lie on the same line?
They are said to be collinear.
Noncollinear points lie on the same line?
You have to have three or more points to have non-colinear points because any two points determine a line. Noncolinear are NOT on the same line.
When three points lie on a line one point is called?
If three points all lie on the same line, then the points are said to be "collinear". This is also true if the slope from each point to the next is the same.
Do three random points lie on the same line?
they do, if the line is curved, otherwise it is infinitely unlikely, but possible that they lie on a straight line
In general how many planes are there which contain any number of given points?
There are no planes containing any number of given points. Two points not the same define a line. Three points not in a line define a plane. For four or more points to lie in the same plane, three can be arbitrary but not on the same line, but the fourth (and so on) points must lie in that same plane.
What is the difference between collinear and non collinear?
In order for three or more points to be collinear, they must lie on the same line. Two points would always be collinear. Noncollinear are points that do not lie in the same line.
