Question

If a #b #0, prove that the points (a, a?), (b, b?) and (0,0) will not be collinear.
​

Answer 1

Given:a and b unequal 0

For points not to be collinear it is sufficient to prove that area of triangle formed by these points is not 0.

Area=1/2{a(b-0)+b(0-a)+0(a-b)}

=1/2{ab-ab}

=1/2{0}=0

I think that these points are collinear cause the answer is coming 0.
