प्रश्न
Find the value of p for which the points (−5, 1), (1, p) and (4, −2) are collinear.
उत्तर
Points are collinear means the area of the triangle formed by the collinear points is 0.
Using the area of a triangle = `[ 1/2 [x_1(y_2 − y_3) + x_2( y_3 − y_1) + x_3(y_1 − y_2)]`
=`1/2[ −5(p − ( −2)) + 1( −2 − 1) + 4( 1− p)]`
= `1/2[ −5( p + 2) + 1( −3 ) + 4(1 − p)]`
= `1/2[ −5p − 10 − 3 + 4 − 4p]`
= `1/2[ − 5p − 9 − 4p ]`
Area of triangle will be zero points being collinear
`1/2[ −5p − 4p − 9 ]`=0
`1/2[ −9p − 9 ] = 0`
9p + 9 = 0
p = − 1
Therefore, the value of p = −1.
