    				| 1. | Show that the points (3,4), (-5, 16), (5,1) are collinear. | 
| Answer» A(3,4) B(-5,16) and C(5,1) Their respective position vectors are=>`3hati+4hatj,-5hati+16hatj,5hati+hatj` `vec(BA)=8hati-12hatj` `vec(BC)=10hati-15hatj` `vec(BA)=4/5vec(BC)` thus these are parallel vectors. since B is common therefore A,B,C are collinear points. | |
