The points (2, 3), (3, 3) and (k, 1) all lie in a straight line.
a) Find the equation of the line .
================
Not possible.
The 1st 2 points ---> y = 3
The 3rd point is not on that line.

----------------------------------------------------
points (2, 3), (3, 3) and (k, 1) all lie in a straight line.
-----------------------------------------------------


The first two points tell you that slope is 0, and the line is y=3.


The next point (k,1) IS NOT ON y=3.
The question is wrong.
