Question

show that the foll: points are collinear using distance formula. A (6,2) ,B (2,-3) and C (-2,-8).Help!

Answer 1

colinear aint proved by distance

Answer 2

all point equi distance from a single point forms a circle ...

Answer 3

3 equal length lines can form a triangle

Answer 4

Thx but this problem is based on AC square = AB square +BC square.

Answer 5

(6,2) (2,-3) (-2,-8)
-6-2 -6-2 -6-2
------------------
00 <-4,-5> <-8,-10>

<4,5> and 2<4,5> are at least parallel

Answer 6

if the distance between you farthest points is equal to the distance between the sum of the distances from the end outer points to the middle point; they are in line

Answer 7

so you need to determine the 3 sets of distances between each point with the others. then compare the data.

if the smaller numbers add up to the larger, your a straight line

Answer 8

its a triangle thrm all over again

Answer 9

Thx .formula is d= square root of (x2-x1) +(y2-y1). the pythagoras theorem.
