Answer:

False

Explanation:

A line is defined by and consists of at least two points, therefore, an extra point in the same plane can be located such that when joined to one of the previous two points to form another distinct line

However, three points can only lie on one distinct plane as the location of the third point together with the two colinear point form either three colinear points or a triangle which is a planar two dimensional polygon.
