do theese 3 points lie on the same lines?
(-4,-2) (2,2.5) (8,7)
or
(-10,4) (-3,2.8) (-17,6.8) pleeeease respond
3 points lie on the same line, if the area of the triangle from 3 points is 0:
$$\\ P_1 = (x_1,y_1) \\
P_2 = (x_2,y_2) \\
P_3 = (x_3,y_3) \\
\small{\text{ The area of a triangle with 3 Points is the determinant } = \left| \begin{array}{cc}
(x_1-x_2) & (x_3-x_2) \\
(y_1-y_2) & (y_3-y_2) \\
\end{array} \right|\\\\
\boxed{ \text{ area } = (x_1-x_2) *(y_3-y_2) - (y_1-y_2)*(x_3-x_2)} }$$

The area is not 0. The 3 Points lie not on the same line.
Whenever you have a straight line, it will have the same slope no matter what points you use.
To find whether or not these points are on one straight line: (-4,-2) (2,2.5) (8,7)
Find the slope using the first two points; then find the slope using the last two points; if these slopes are the same, then the three points are on the same line. If they aren't the same, then they don't lie on the same line.
Formula for slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Can you take it from here?
oh my gosh! yes ! thank you so much! because of that i will probably move on to 9th grade algebra 2! thanks again!
