उत्तर
Let A(x1, y1) = A(4, 3), B(x2, y2) = B(5, 1), C(x3, y3) = C(1, 9)
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
= `sqrt((5 -4)^2 + (1 - 3)^2`
= `sqrt(1^2 + (-2)^2`
= `sqrt(1+ 4)`
= `sqrt(5)` ...(i)
∴ d(B, C) = `sqrt((x_3 - x_2)^2 + (y_3 - y_2)^2`
= `sqrt((1 - 5)^2 + (9 - 1)^2`
= `sqrt((-4)^2 + 8^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 64)`
=`sqrt(80)`
= `4sqrt(5)` ...(ii)
∴ d(A, C) = `sqrt((x_3 -x_1)^2 + (y_3 - y_2)^2`
= `sqrt((1 - 4)^2 + (9 - 3)^2`
= `sqrt((-3)^2 + 6^2`
= `sqrt(9 + 36)`
= `sqrt(45)`
= `3sqrt(5)` ...(iii)
`sqrt(5) + 3sqrt(5) = 4sqrt(5)`
∴ d(A, B) + d(A, C) = d(B, C) ...[From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
∴ Points A, B, C are collinear.

In a GPS, The lines that run east-west are known as lines of latitude, and the lines running north-south are known as lines of longitude. The latitude and the longitude of a place are its coordinates and the distance formula is used to find the distance between two places. The distance between two parallel lines is approximately 150 km.
