Hi dear,
Three points are said to be colinear if their gradients are equal.
I.e,If the gradient of AB=BC=AC then they are colinear,
Here is the working:
Gradient of AB=(-1-3)/(-2-2)
=-4/(-4)
=1
Gradient of AC=(-2-3)/(-3-2)
=(-5)/(-5)
=1
Gradient of BC= (-2+1)/(-3+2)
=(1)/(1)
=1
From the above,
Their gradients are equal so they are colinear.
HOPE THIS HELPS:
