To show that the points \( A(1, -2, -8) \), \( B(5, 0, -2) \), and \( C(11, 3, 7) \) are collinear, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Position Vectors The position vectors of points A, B, and C can be defined as follows: - \( \vec{A} = 1\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 8\hat{k} \) - \( \vec{B} = 5\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} - 2\hat{k} \) - \( \vec{C} = 11\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 7\hat{k} \) ...
