Question:

Determinants are used to show that three points lie on the same line (are collinear). Ifimage


then the points (x1 , y1), (x2 , y2), and (x3 , y3) are collinear. If the determinant does not equal 0, then the points are not collinear. Use this information to work Exercises 51–52.


Are the points (3, -1), (0, -3), and (12, 5) collinear?
