Understanding Points, Lines, and Planes

The video tutorial explores fundamental concepts in geometry, starting with postulates and axioms, which are accepted without proof. It explains how two points can always form a line and discusses the nature of collinear and non-collinear points. The tutorial further elaborates on how three points can determine a plane and introduces the concept of space, defined by at least four points. A special case is highlighted where three collinear points can lead to an infinite number of planes.
