I think the answer to this would be D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but D is not a point
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep, D is actually a plane
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In the question it says or plane

And point P is a plane
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but the answer choice is "point D"
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
if D said "plane D", then it would be correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry I meant point D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's still wrong -.- because D is not a point.

Plane D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thats not an answer choice!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
focus on "plane ABC"
is it possible to have EXACTLY ONE unique plane going through ABC? Or more than one plane?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Forget this is confusing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm more than one?

yep because you can spin the plane around that line
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so to correctly name a plane you need 3 points AND the points cannot be collinear
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's A?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
collinear points = all points lie on the same straight line
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep line e is the only valid name
