noncollinear
Off the line
Noncollinear describes points that do not lie on the same straight line.
In geometry, three or more noncollinear points define a plane, while collinear points all fall along a single line.
The term appears in mathematics, physics, and engineering: Three noncollinear points determine a unique circle.
