How many planes can contain a line and a point on the line?

Anything that contains the line must contain every point on the line, so "a point on the line" doesn't give us any more information. You're just asking how many planes can contain the line. Now imagine setting a wood panel down on a tight-rope. How many different ways can it set there before it falls off ? A lot, right ? An infinite number of planes can all contain your line. (And all of its points.)

Can a given line be in two planes?

Two planes intersect at a line. The line where they intersect pertains to both planes. In the same manner, if infinitely many planes intersect each other at the same line, then that line pertains to the infinitely many planes.
