What is value of k if the points (2,-3),(k,-1) and(0,4) is collinear
Answers
Answer:
answer will be 2 for the k
Solution
Given :-
The points (2, -3) , (k, -1) and (0, 4) are collinear .
Find :-
Value of k
Explanation
Let,
Given point be A(2,-3) , B(k,-1) , C(0,4)
Condition For Collinear,
slopes of any two pairs of points will be equal.
Formula Of Slope
★ Slope(any two point) = (y - y')/(x - x')
Where,
(x,y) & (x' , y') be any point.
Now, Calculate Slope of AB
Where,
A(2,-3) , B(k,-1) ,
➡AB = (-1+3)/(k-2)
➡AB = 2/(k+2)
Now, Calculate Slope of BC
where ,
B(k,-1) , C(0,4)
➡BC = (4+1)/(0-k)
➡BC = 5/k
According to condition,
AB = BC
We get,
➡ 2/(k+2) = 5/k
➡2k = 5*(k+2)
➡2k = 5k + 10
➡5k - 2k = -10
➡3k = -10
➡k = -10/3
Hence
Value of k = -10/3
