Answer:

yes and no

Explanation:

Collinear points can be coplanar because a plane is defined by three points not on the same line, and a line is defined by two points so you have another point which makes this statement true.

Coplanar points can not be collinear because in a plane all three points cannot be on the same line and to be collinear they would have to be.
