Using vectors, find the value of lambda ...

Using vectors, find the value of `lambda` such that the points `(lambda,-10,3),(1,-1,3)a n d(3,5,3)` are collinear.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the given points be
`A(λ,−10,3),B(1,−1,3)andC(3,5,3)`
`AB=(i−j+3k)−(λi−10j+3k)=(1−λ)i+9j`
​`AC=(3i+5j+3k)−(λi−10j+3k)=(3−λ)i+15j `​
Since they are collinear
`AB=KAC`
