Collinear pointsare points that form a single straight line when they are
connected (two points are always collinear). Noncollinear pointsare
points that do not form a single straight line when they are connected (only
three or more points can be noncollinear).
Coplanar/Noncoplanar
Coplanar pointsare points that occupy the same plane. Noncoplanar
pointsare points that do not occupy the same plane.
