Prentice Hall Geometry

Points that lie on the same line are collinear points. Points and lines that lie in the same plane are coplanar. All the points of a line are coplanar.

The terms point, line, and plane are not defined because their definitions would require terms that also need defining. You can, however, use undefined terms to define other terms. A geometric figure is a set of points. Space is the set of all points in three dimensions. Similarly, the definitions for segment and ray are based on points and lines.
