Two other names for plane Q would be AEC and CDBEBD is not an acceptable name for plane Q because the points E, B and D are collinear
Given: Figure of a plane named Q with a normal at point B, containing two lines and that intersect at point B

Two other names for plane QWhy EBD is not an acceptable name for plane Q
A line is named using any two points lying on it. A plane, on the other hand is named using any three non-collinear points lying on it.
The logic behind this is that there is an unique line passing through any two points. So, any two points lying on a line is sufficient to name the line.
Similarly, an unique plane can be found that passes through any two lines. That is, any two lines lying on a plane is sufficient to name the plane. Since a line can be defined uniquely by two points, two lines can be defined uniquely by two points each, that is, four points. However, if we take a common point, that is, if we take the point of intersection of the two lines as one of our points, then we need at most three points to define a plane.
Note that, we have to take care that the three points be non-collinear, because if they are collinear, they can only give a single unique line which is not sufficient to uniquely give a plane. Indeed, infinite number of planes passes through a single line.
So, we name a line using two points lying on it and a plane using three non-collinear points lying on it.
Now, the line clearly passes through points A and B. As can be seen from the figure, it also passes through the point C. We name a line using any two points lying on the line.
So, another name for can be .
The plane Q contains the points A, B, C, D and E of which the points A, B and C, and the points E, B and D are collinear. So, choosing two sets of three points each such that they are non-collinear, we can have points A, E and C, and the points C, D and B.
Equivalently, two other names for the plane Q can be AEC and CDB.
EBD is not an acceptable name for plane Q because the points E, B and D are collinear points, that is they lie on the same line.
So, we have found that another name for can be , two other names for the plane Q can be AEC and CDB, and EBD is not an acceptable name for plane Q because the points E, B and D are collinear points.
