Given three distinct points in a plane, how many lines can be drawn by joining them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given three distinct points `A`, `B` and `C` in a plane, they can either be collinear or non collinear. If they are collinear, then there can be only one line joining them. If they are non collinear, then there can be three lines joining them.
