Four points A, B, C, and D are coplanar, but only two at a time are collinear. Suppose a line is drawn through each pair of points. How many lines can you draw?
What I would do is try drawing these four points using the given information and finding all the lines you can use to connect a pair of points.
We may consider the flat surface you draw it on a plane for the "coplanar" definition. Then, you need only make it so that no three points can be on the same line to satisfy the "collinear" definition.
that means we can only have it like this: |dw:1337026665026:dw| and not like these: |dw:1337026759982:dw| now you can see from the first drawing that you can draw a total of six lines using these four points if we suppose there could only be two points at a time.
