Point-Line-Plane Postulateb. Number Line AssumptionEvery line is a set of points that can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers, with any point on it corresponding to 0 and any other point corresponding to 1.

Point-Line-Plane Postulatec. Dimension Assumption1) Given a line in a plane, there is at least one point in the plane that is not on the line.2) Given a plane in a space, there is at least one point in space that is not in the plane.

Definition of Parallel LinesTwo coplanar lines m and n are parallel lines, written m||n, if and only if they have no points in common or they are identical.
