The statement is True. In geometry, two distinct points in a plane will always define a straight line. This is a fundamental principle that helps in understanding the relationship between points and lines in a two-dimensional space.

Why This is True

When you have two different points, you can draw a straight line connecting them. No matter where the points are located in the plane, the line will always be the shortest path between them.

Key Points to Remember

  • Two distinct points create exactly one line.
  • More than two points can define a line only if they are collinear (lie on the same line).
  • This concept is foundational in both geometry and coordinate systems.
