Show that the points (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a) do not lie on a straight line for any value of a.
उत्तर
Given, the points are (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a).
We have to prove that these pints do not lie on a straaighine.
So, we have to prove that these points form a triangle.
Area, Δ = `1/2|("a" + 5, "a" - 4, 1),("a" - 2, "a" + 3, 1),("a", "a", 1)|`
[Applying R1 → R1 – R3 and R2 → R2 – R3]
= `1/2 |(5, -4, 0),(-2, 3, 0),("a", "a", 1)|`
= `1/2[(1 * (15 - 8)]`
= `7/2 ≠ 0`
Hence, given points from a triangle i.e., points do not lie on a straight line.
