A line can be drawn or plotted through any two points.

The definition of "line" is the absolute distance (representational) between two points, so typically any two points in open space (without intervening variables) can be inferred to be the endpoints of a line segment. However if you want to take into consideration infiniti, time, and all other variables/factors that provide new dimensions it could be possible to inconcievably have two points that could never lie on the same line. If you just mean is it possible to have a point seperate from a line on a graph yeah, its called a skew point.

No.
The definition of a line is a connection between two points (i know the wording is elementary.. but it's the gist of it)
so if you have two points, you got a line. Therefore, there can never be two different points that could never lie on the same line.
hope this helps...

no. this is not possible.
the definition of a line is the shortest path that connects any two points.
you are always able to take any two points, anywhere, and connect them. it does not matter where the points are. because the points exist in the first place, they exist on a coordinate plane (1D, 2D, or 3D).
Since both points exist and are on a common coordinate plane, there must be a path between them.
If there are paths between, there must be a shortest path. This shortest path is line directly connecting these two points.

No, because a line is a connection of any two points.

Yes. One point may exist in an alternate reality. Another point may not agree there is another point to be made at all in any reality, so assuming the first one did not deny the relevance of the first point, someone may be subject to lies, while the other may or may not be, but they, in their unique discourse, may not be using the same line, whether or not their respective lies share congruence.
I hope that helps!

No because you need 2 points to have a line. if there's one point, its not a line.

regardless of in case you have been to define a nil length line section AB the place A and B are coincident, the size of AB ought to basically be the size of BC of C have been additionally coincident to A and B. If A, B, and C are each and all the comparable element, that is meaningless to assert that B is the midpoint between A and C, yet not unavoidably incorrect.

no.
It's one of the axioms of geometry that any two points have a line which connect them. The only way to change this would be to rewrite the axioms and if you did that you really wouldn't be talking about what we call "geometry" anymore, it would be something different.

well if there are only two points, then there can be a line connecting between them, no matter where they are..
sorry..
