The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ 2z_1 - 3z_2 + z_3 = 0 \] ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We can rearrange the equation to isolate \( z_3 \): \[ z_3 = -2z_1 + 3z_2 \] ### Step 2: Expressing \( z_2 \) Now, we can express \( z_2 \) in terms of \( z_1 \) and \( z_3 \): \[ 3z_2 = 2z_1 + z_3 \] Dividing both sides by 3 gives us: \[ z_2 = \frac{2z_1 + z_3}{3} \] ### Step 3: Interpreting the Result The expression we obtained for \( z_2 \): \[ z_2 = \frac{2z_1 + z_3}{3} \] This resembles the section formula in coordinate geometry, which states that if a point \( B \) divides the line segment \( AC \) in the ratio \( m:n \), then: \[ B = \frac{mC + nA}{m+n} \] In our case, \( z_2 \) is a point that divides the line segment joining \( z_1 \) and \( z_3 \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \). ### Step 4: Conclusion Since \( z_2 \) is a point that lies on the line segment between \( z_1 \) and \( z_3 \), it implies that all three points \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) are collinear. Thus, the answer is that \( z_1, z_2, z_3 \) are **collinear points**. ### Final Answer: **Collinear Points** ---
