# Points collinear

Show that the point A(-1,3), B(3,2), C(11,0) are col-linear.

Correct result:

x =  1

#### Solution:

$BA=(x_{1},y_{1}) \ \\ CA=(x_{2},y_{2}) \ \\ \ \\ x_{1}=3 - (-1)=4 \ \\ y_{1}=2-3=-1 \ \\ \ \\ x_{2}=11 - (-1)=12 \ \\ y_{2}=0 - 3=-3 \ \\ \ \\ k_{1}=x_{2}/x_{1}=12/4=3 \ \\ k_{2}=y_{2}/y_{1}=(-3)/(-1)=3 \ \\ \ \\ k_{1}=k_{2} \ \\ \ \\ \ \\ 3 \cdot \ (4, -1)=(12, 3) \ \\ 3 \cdot \ BA=CA \ \\ x=1$
