Using vector method, prove that the following points are collinear:
A(6,-7,-1) B(2,-3,1) C(4,-5,0)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We are given the points `A(6,-7,-1), B(2,-3,1), \ and \ C(4,-5,0)`

Let the position vectors be :

Position vector of ` A=6 hat i-7 hat j- hat k`

Position vector of ` B=2 hat i-3 hat j+ hat k`

Position vector of `C=4 hat i-5 hat j`

Now we have to show that these points are collinear it is possible only if
`|vec(AB)|+|vec(BC)|=|vec(AC)|`

Therefore,
