Answer to Problem 29E
The points
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given points are
Calculation:
Let the point-coordinates A, B and C be
If the line from A to B has the same slope as the line from A to C, then these points form a straight line and are collinear.
Put the point coordinates
Thus, the slope of AB is
Put the point coordinates
Thus, the slope of AC is
The line from A to B has the same slope as the line from A to C. This means that it is a straight line. So, the given points are collinear.
