Chapter 1: Q6 (page 24)

Postulate 6 is sometimes stated as 鈥淭wo points determine a line.鈥�

Do three points determine a line?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Three points determine a line only if they are collinear points.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. State postulate 6.

Postulate 6 states that 鈥淭wo points determine a line鈥�.

02

Step 2. Collinear and non-Collinear points.

At least two points can determine one line if those points are collinear and at least two lines if the points are non-collinear.

03

Step 3. Justify if three points determine a line.

To justify consider the following statement 鈥淒o three points determine a line?鈥� and give reasoning to state if it is true or false:

From Postulate 5

鈥淎 line contains at least two points.鈥�

Therefore, three points can determine one line if three points are collinear and three lines if the points are non-collinear.

Hence, the answer is 鈥渢hree points can determine a line if the three points are collinear and three lines if the points are non-collinear.鈥�
