Answer»

ANSWER:

for \: the \: given \: points \: to \: be \: collinear \\  |x1(y2 - y3) +x2(y3 - y2) + x3(y1 - y2) |  = 0 \\  \\ lhs = |x1(y2 - y3) +x2(y3 - y2) + x3(y1 - y2) |  \\  \\  =  |1(4 + 4) + 3( - 4 - 2)  - 5(2 - 4)| \\  \\  =  |8  - 18 + 10|  \\  \\  = 18 - 18 \\  \\  = 0 \\  \\ since \: lhs = rhs  \\ \: the \:  given \: points \: are  \: collinear.
