To find the value of \( m \) for which the position vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) are collinear, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the position vectors The position vectors of the points are given as follows: - For point \( A(1, -1) \): \[ \vec{a} = 1 \hat{i} - 1 \hat{j} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} \] ...
