The value of p is equal to - 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given three points A(p, 2), B(3, - 4) and C (4, - 5) are collinear.
To find, the value of p = ?
We know that,
The condition of three points are collinear.
⇒ p(- 4 + 5) + 3(- 5 - 2) + 4(2 + 4) = 0
⇒ p(1) + 3(- 7) + 4(6) = 0
⇒ p - 21 + 24 = 0
⇒ p + 3 = 0
⇒ p = - 3
Thus, the value of p is equal to - 3.
