Question

If three points are on the same line, then they are colinear. Points X, Y, and Z are on line m. Use the law of detachment to make a conclusion. If it is not possible to make a conclusdion, tell why. Thank you!

Answer 1

what is that law stating?

Answer 2

I think THey want you to prove that if X,Y,and Z are on the same line, they are colinear, using that law

Answer 3

ok, i looked it up, what do you have so far?

Answer 4

General form of that Logic

- conditional statement, maybe an If/Then
- some statement to test (hypothesis)
- A Conclusion based on the previous two lines, the hypothesis uses the condition to make a conclusion, i think

Answer 5

So what you're saying is I should write it like this? "Points X,Y, and Z are collinear," and that's my answer?

Answer 6

I would write these three in order --

1) If three points lie on the same line, then they are colinear
2) Points x,y,z are on the same line m
3) therefore, x,y,z are three colinear points
