EXAMPLE 11 Show that the points (1,-1),(5,2) and (9,5) are collinear

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

They are collinear if the have the same slope

(2 - -1)/(5 - 1) = 3/4

(5 - 2)/(9 - 5) = 3/4

(5 - -1)/(9 - 1) = 6/8 = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!!

Your question is about showing the points A(1,-1), B(5,2) and C(9,5) as a collinear point.

We generally slope to find weather the points are collinear or not.

So, let's find slope for AB.

Therefore, slope of AB = 3/4.

Now, slope of BC.

Therefore, the slope is 3/4.

now, lastly slope of AC.

Therefore, the slope of AC is 3/4.

As all point have same slope. They are collinear point.

Hope it helps...

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

answer is 144
