<PRE><B>Question 108833</B>
If the slopes from point to point are all the same the points are collinear.
-----------------
is the points A(2,1),B(-4,1),C(-1,-3) Collinear or noncollinear
---------------
from A to B: slope = 0 
from B to C; slope = (-3-1)/(-1--4) = -4/3
----------------
slopes are not the same so the points are not collinear
