To find the value of \( \lambda \) such that the points \( A(-1, 3, 2) \), \( B(-4, 2, -2) \), and \( C(5, \lambda, 10) \) are collinear, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for collinearity Three points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are collinear if the vectors \( \overrightarrow{AB} \) and \( \overrightarrow{AC} \) are parallel. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \overrightarrow{AB} = B - A = (-4 + 1, 2 - 3, -2 - 2) = (-3, -1, -4) \] \[ ...
