Question

determine whether the given 3 points are coillinear.
(1,5),(-2,-1) and (-3,-4)

Answer 1

you can draw a line through them and see if it is.
Are you asking us to do it algebraically ?

Answer 2

i say no on the question i asked but just wanted someones else opinion

Answer 3

do you know how to find the linear equation y=mx+b for
(1,5) and (-2,-1) ?

Answer 4

yeah

Answer 5

then once you get that linear equation, you will see if the other point (-3,-4) is on this line.

to check that, you will plug it into y=mx+b
that you get.

if the equation is true, then it is.
if you get a false statement, then it is not on the line.

Answer 6

k thanks

Answer 7

hope it helped.
good luck

Answer 8

yep:)
