
A point is simply a location in space.


We label points with capital letters.

We know what a line looks like , but in Geometry a line is and infinite row of points.
It has no beginning and no end.
2 points are collinear if they lay on the same line.
Draw a picture of a line, label it “r”, containing 2 collinear points, label them “P and Q”:


A plane is a 2 – dimensional “slice” of space that can contain points and lines.

It is always FLAT.

Draw a picture of a plane and label it “W”:
