Question

Answer the following question:

Show that the following points are collinear by determinant:

L(2,5), M(5,7), N(8,9)

Sum

Solution

Given : L(2,5), M(5,7), N(8,9)

∴ area of ΔLMN = `1/2|(2, 5, 1),(5, 7, 1),(8, 9, 1)|`

= `1/2[2(7 - 9) - 5(5 - 8) + 1(45 - 56)]`

= `1/2[2(-2) -5(-3) + 1(-11)]`

= `1/2(-4 + 15 - 11)` = 0

∴ L, M, N are collinear.
