उत्तर
We have three collinear points A(1,2) ;B(-5,6) ;C(a, - 2).
In general if `A(x_1 ,y_1) ;B(x_2 , y_2) ;C(x_3 ,y_3)` are collinear then,
`x_1(y_2 - y_3 ) + x_2 (y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2) = 0`
So,
1(6 + 2) - 5(- 2-2)+ a (2 -6 ) = 0
So,
-4a + 8 + 20 = 0
Therefore,
a = 7

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
