1. Determine if the points A(1,5), B(2,3), C(-2,-11) are collinear points





1. Determine if the points `A(1,5), B(2,3), C(-2,-11)` are collinear points

Solution:
We know that the distance between the two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is
`d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`


The given points are `A(1,5),B(2,3),C(-2,-11)`

`AB=sqrt((2-1)^2+(3-5)^2)`

`=sqrt((1)^2+(-2)^2)`

`=sqrt(1+4)`

`=sqrt(5)`

`:. AB=sqrt(5)`


`BC=sqrt((-2-2)^2+(-11-3)^2)`

`=sqrt((-4)^2+(-14)^2)`

`=sqrt(16+196)`

`=sqrt(212)`

`:. BC=2sqrt(53)`


`AC=sqrt((-2-1)^2+(-11-5)^2)`

`=sqrt((-3)^2+(-16)^2)`

`=sqrt(9+256)`

`=sqrt(265)`

`:. AC=sqrt(265)`


As, AC > AB and AC > BC
If points A, B and C are collinear then AB + BC = AC
But `sqrt(5)+2sqrt(53)=16.7963!=sqrt(265)`

`:.` A,B,C are not collinear points
