By using the concept of the equation of a line, prove that the three points (- 2, - 2), (8, 2) and (3, 0) are collinear.

Given: points be A (-2, 2), B (8, 2) and C(3,0).

To prove:


Points (- 2, - 2), (8, 2) and (3, 0) are collinear.


Explanation:


The equation of the line passing through A (-2,-2) and B (8, 2) is


Formula used:



5y + 10 = 2x + 4


2x – 5y – 6 = 0


Clearly, point C (3, 0) satisfies the equation 2x – 5y – 6 = 0


Hence Proved, the given points are collinear.
