Use the Distance Formula to determine whether the points $( 7,9 ) , ( 7,4 )$ and $( 7,7 )$ are collinear.
A) $\text { not collinear }$
B) $\text { collinear }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The points are collinear because they all have the same x-coordinate (7), indicating they lie on a vertical line. The distance formula is not necessary to conclude this, as the alignment on the same x-coordinate directly shows collinearity.

Use the Distance Formula to Determine Whether the Points (7,9),(7,4)( 7,9 ) , ( 7,4 )(7,9),(7,4)
