Show that the following points are collinear:
A = (3, 2, –4), B = (9, 8, –10), C = (–2, –3, 1)
उत्तर
Let `bar"a", bar"b", bar"c"` be the position vectors of the points.
A = (3, 2, –4), B = (9, 8, –10) and C = (–2, –3, 1) respectively.
Then, `bar"a" = 3hat"i" + 2hat"j" - 4hat"k", bar"b" = 9hat"i" + 8hat"j" - 10hat"k", bar"c" = - 2hat"i" - 3hat"j" + hat"k"`
`vec"AB" = bar"b" - bar"a"`
`= (9hat"i" + 8hat"j" - 10hat"k") - (3hat"i" + 2hat"j" - 4hat"k")`
`= 6hat"i" + 6hat"j" - 6hat"k"` ......(1)
and `vec"BC" = bar"c" - bar"b"`
`= (- 2hat"i" - 3hat"j" + hat"k") - (9hat"i" + 8hat"j" - 10hat"k")`
`= - 11hat"i" - 11hat"j" + 11hat"k"`
`= - 11(hat"i" + hat"j" - hat"k")`
`= - 11/6 (6hat"i" + 6hat"j" - 6hat"k")`
`= - 11/6 vec"AB"` ....[By (1)]
∴ `vec"BC"` is a non-zero scalar multiple of `vec"AB"`
∴ They are parallel to each other.
But they have point B in common.
∴ `vec"BC"` and `vec"AB"` are collinear vectors.
Hence, points A, B and C are collinear.
