Chapter 1, Problem 72

(choose chapter or problem)

Collinear Points Three or more points are collinear if they all lie on the same line. Use the steps below to determine if the set of points and the set of points are collinear. (a) For each set of points, use the Distance Formula to find the distances from to from to and from to What relationship exists among these distances for each set of points? (b) Plot each set of points in the Cartesian plane. Do all the points of either set appear to lie on the same line? (c) Compare your conclusions from part (a) with the conclusions you made from the graphs in part (b). Make a general statement about how to use the Distance Formula to determine collinearity. True or False?
