Collinear and Coplanar Points?

Question

In Geometry, what is the difference between Collinear and Coplanar points?

Answer 1

Collinear points are points on the same line.
Coplanar points are points in the same plane.
All collinear points are coplanar but
the reverse isn't true.

Answer 2

Collinear points are points which lie in the same line in two-space. Coplanar points are points which lie in the same plane in three space.

Answer 3

ColLINEar points are on the same line. CoPLANar points are on the same plane.

Answer 4

Collinear points are 2 or more points that are on the same line, Coplaner points, are 2 or more points that are on the same Plane =)

Answer 5

Collinear points are points that fall on the same line. Two points will always be colinear because it takes to points to define a line. Two points are also infinately coplaner because there are infinately many planes that they share. Three points are coplaner only once because planes are defined by three points so they'll only fall into the same plane once.

SHORT ANSWER:
Collinear points- points that fall on the same line
Coplaner points- points that fall on the same plane

Answer 6

Co-linear points lie on the same line (and hence the same plane) whereas coplanar points lie on the same flat surface but not necessarily on the same line.

Answer 7

collinear points lie on the same linear line e.g (4,4) and (2,2)
coplanar are points that lie on the same plane e.g. plane N contains points x and y this means that x and y are coplanar

hope this helps... i didnt get it at first either

Answer 8

colinnear - same line
coplanar - same plane, but not on the line
