Collinear points lie on the same line. Find the value of k for which the following points are collinear: (k,3), (-3,2), (-1,1)

Respuesta :

Answer:

k=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the points to be collinear any two pair must have the same slope

We find the slope of the 2nd and 3rd points

=1-2/-1--3

=-1/2

Now finding the slope of the 1st and any other point say point 3

1-3/-1-k=-½

-2/-1-k=-½

-4=-1(-1-k)

-4=1+k

k=-4-1

k=-5

PROOF

if the first point is (-5,3)

slope of point 1 and 2

=2-3/-3--5

=-1/2
