A question about coplanar points? Doesn't make sense to me. Picture: http://prntscr.com/4peec

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

So you have intersecting Lines KJ & GH shown on a plane. Another Line EF not in the same plane. All 3 Lines Intersect at Point O

so what's the answer to #1, then? Because all the choices have E&F in them and we already said those weren't coplanar to the others

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Remember that any 3 NON-COLINEAR points define 1 & only 1 plane. Corollary: A line & a point not on the line define 1 plane Corollary: 2 intersecting Lines define 1 plane

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

1a HOG are in a straight line ... E is a point not on that line . So EHOG are co-planar

Starting to get it! Thank you!! So in order to make a plane, there has to be a line and a point not on the line? Are there any other ways?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

1a So even if is is not on the plane showed, there still is exactly one plane with points EHOG

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

The rules of making a plane are all similar other than the 3 I mentioned above, there is also: 2 parallel lines lie in exactly 1 plane

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

For 1 you should get: b is _not_ coplanar... the rest are

Okayy :) Thank you.
