The points A(-2,1), B(0,5) and C(-1,2) are collinear.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
False
Given points are A(-2,1)B(0,5)and C(1,2).
Now, slope of `AB=(5-1)/(0+2)=2`
Slope of `BC=(2-5)/(-1-0)=3`
Slope of `AC=(2-1)/(-1+2)=1`
Since, the slopes are different.
Hence, A,Band C are not collinear. So, statements is false.
