Find the value of `x`for which the points `(x-1), (2,1)a n d (4,5) `are collinear. |
Answer» Let A(x,-1), B(2,1) and C(4,5) be the given collinear points. Then, by collinearity of A,B,C we have: slope of AB=slope of BC `(1-(-1))/(2-x)=((5-1))/((4-2)) Rightarrow (2)/(2-x)=2 Rightarrow 2-x=1 Rightarrow x=1` Hence, x=1 |
