ABPC is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠BPC = 180° - ∠A
AMPL is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠MPL = 180° - ∠A
Thus,
∠BPC = ∠MPL
∠BPL + ∠LPC = ∠BPL + ∠BPM
Therefore, ∠LPC = ∠BPM -- 1
LCPN is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠LPC = ∠LNC -- 2
BMPN is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠BPM = ∠BNM -- 3
Thus,from equation 1 2 and 3
∠BNM = ∠LNC
Therefore, N M and I are collinear
