Question

(0,-6) (-3,-8) (2,-4)

Are these points collinear or no??

RIGHT ANSWERS ONLY, PLS AND TY

Answer 1

Line that passes through (0,-6) and (2,-4)

`y = mx + c \\ m = ( - 6 + 4)/(0 - 2) = ( - 2)/( - 2) = 1 \\ c = y - mx = - 4 - 1(2) = - 6 \\ y = x - 6`

If the third point (-3,-8) belongs to this line, then it must satisfy its equation and be collinear to the other two points, if not, then these points are not collinear, check:

`- 8 = - 3 - 6 \\ - 8≠ - 9 \\ so \: nopeeee`
