Determine whether the points A (- 2, 2), B (3, 12), C (1, 8) lie on a straight line. 
A) No
B) Yes

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The points A, B, and C lie on a straight line if the slopes between each pair of points are equal. The slope between A and B is (12-2)/(3+2) = 2, and the slope between B and C is (8-12)/(1-3) = 2. Since the slopes are equal, the points lie on a straight line.
