To determine if three points are collinear, we have to find two slopes using this points, if they are equl, the points are collinear.

Slope 1 using points D(0, -1) and E(4, 3):

m1 = (3 - (-1))/(4 - 0) = (3 + 1)/4 = 4/4 = 1

m1 = 1

Slope 2 using points D(0, -1) and F(6,5):

m2 = (5- (-1))/(6 - 0) = (5 + 1)/6 = 6/6 = 1

m2 = 1

Since both slopes are equal to 1, they are collinear

Answer:

D, E and F are collinear
