Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if three points are collinear, you can use the slope formula $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ to compare the slopes between each pair of points. If all slopes are equal, the points are collinear. Calculating the slopes between each pair of points here gives different values, indicating the points are not collinear.
