Question
Determine whether the three points are collinear by using slopes.$$(0,9),(-3,-7),(2,19)$$
Step 1
The formula for the slope is given by $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Substituting the given points into the formula, we get $m = \frac{-7 - 9}{-3 - 0} = \frac{-16}{-3} = \frac{16}{3}$. Show more…
