Q

Collinear

A

Points on the same line
Any two points are collinear
A line can be drawn through them
To see that 3 points are collinear there has to be a line drawn through them
Because it is not possible to draw a line through any 3 points but it is possible for 2 points.

Q

Coplanar

A

Points on the same plane
Any three points are coplanar
A plane can be drawn through them
If there is more than 3 points there must be a plane drawn through them

Q

Intersection

A

When 2 or more figures share a line or point
Lines intersect at a point
Planes intersect at a line
Planes go forever in one direction so the lines have to go forever in one direction
