Detailed Solution

Yes, these postulates contain undefined terms like point and line.

These two statements are consistent as they talk about two different situations meaning different things.

These statements do not follow Euclid’s postulates but one of the axioms about “Given any two points, a unique line that passes through them” is followed.
