Step-by-step explanation:
We have to show whether the points P(1,2), Q(2, 8/5) and R (3,6/5) are collinear or not that is they lie on the same straight line by using the concept of slope.
we have 3 points,
P (1,2) , Q(2, \frac{8}{5} ) and R (3, \frac{6}{5})P(1,2),Q(2,

)andR(3,

)
Now, for P, Q and R to be collinear the slope m1 of the line from P to Q , the slope m2 of line from point Q to R and the slope m3 of line from point P to R should be equal, therefore
Solving for m1
\begin{lgathered}m_{1} = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } \\= \frac{\frac{8}{5}-2 }{2-1} = \frac{8-10}{5} = -\frac{2}{5}\end{lgathered}

Solving for m2
