उत्तर

Here, P(x1, y1) ≡ P(5, 1), Q(x2, y2) ≡ Q(1,– 1), R(x3, y3) ≡ R(11, 4)

If A(ΔPQR) = 0, then the points P, Q, R are collinear.

∴ A(ΔPQR) = `1/2|(5, 1, 1),(1, -1, 1),(11, 4, 1)|`

= `1/2[5(-1 - 4) - 1(1 - 11) + 1(4 + 11)]`

= `1/2[5(-5) - 1(-10) + 1(15)]`

= `1/2(-25 + 10 + 15)`

= 0

∴ The points P, Q, R are collinear.
