Given : If the points A( 2,3), B (4,k) and C (6,-3) are collinear.
To find : The value of k?
Solution :
When three points are collinear then the condition is
x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) = 0x
1
(y
2
−y
3
)+x
2
(y
3
−y
1
)+x
3
(y
1
−y
2
)=0
Where, x_1 = 2, x_2 = 4, y_1 = 3, y_2 = k, x_3 = 6, y_3 = -3x
1
=2,x
2
=4,y
1
=3,y
2
=k,x
3
=6,y

=−3
Substituting the values,
2(k + 3) + 4(-3 - 3) + 6(3 - k) = 02(k+3)+4(−3−3)+6(3−k)=0
2k + 6 + 4(-6) + 18 - 6k = 02k+6+4(−6)+18−6k=0
2k + 6 - 24 + 18 - 6k = 02k+6−24+18−6k=0
-4k + 0 = 0−4k+0=0
k=0k=0
Therefore, The value of k is 0.
