QUESTION 1
Solution:
1.1).
Area of a triangle with three vertices (a,b) , (c, d) and (e, f) is given by
1a b 1
Area of triangle = |c d 1|
2
e f 1
If the points are collinear then the are of the triangle is equal to zero,then
Area of triangle = 0
1a b 1
|c d 1| = 0
2
e f 1

a b 1
|c d 1| = 0 × 2
e f 1
a b 1
|c d 1| = 0
e f 1
We can conclude that the points (a,b) , (c, d) and (e,f) are collinear whenever
a b 1
|c d 1| = 0 e f 1
