Question

Examine the collinearity of the following set of point:

A(3, −1), B(0, −3), C(12, 5)

Sum

Solution

Given : A(3, −1), B(0, − 3), C(12, 5)

∴ area of ΔABC = `1/2|(3, -1, 1),(0, -3, 1),(12, 5, 1)|`

= `1/2[3(-3 - 5) + 1(0 - 12) + 1(0 + 36)]`

= `1/2(-24 - 12 + 36)` = 0

∴ A, B, C are collinear.
