To show that the points \((a+5, a-4)\), \((a-2, a+3)\), and \((a, a)\) do not lie on a straight line for any value of \(a\), we can use the concept of the area of a triangle formed by these three points. If the area is not equal to zero, it indicates that the points are not collinear. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: Let the points be: - \(P_1 = (a + 5, a - 4)\) - \(P_2 = (a - 2, a + 3)\) ...
