It can't be shown, because it is not true.

If the three points are collinear, then the coordinates of all the points must satisfy the equation. The given coordinates of B do; but the given coordinates of C do not.

The equation of the line determined by given points B and C is
y+=+%285%2F3%29x%2B1
3y+=+5x%2B3
5x-3y%2B3+=+0
