Help, Please! I will fan and medal you. <3 Arrange the reasons for the proof in the correct order. Prove: If two points are collinear, then the two points lie on the same line. A. By definition, the two lines are not collinear. B. If two points do not lie on the same line, then they are not collinear. Therefore, if two points are collinear, then they lie on the same line (proof by contraposition). C. Assume that the two points lie on different lines. A. A, C, B B. B, C, A C. C, A, B D. C, B, A

What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have been contemplating a for while but I'm pretty sure I am incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A*

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

I also say its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Wait actually I made a mistake, its D

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Explanation: You start by assuming that the two points lie on different lines (C) this leads you to the fact that the two points aren't collinear (B) and A is an odd wording...I think it meant to say "points" instead of lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That actually makes more sense, if by definition two lines or points aren't collinear then A should be the last one. That you for taking time and helping me, I appreciate it.
