Solved by pluggable solver: To determine if 3 points lie in a line
The 3 points lie on a same plane. For all points to lie on a line they should satisfy the equation of a line. Hence any two points taken on a line should calculate to the same slope of a line.


In order to prove the 3 points to lie on a line, as there exists a unique line containing three points and every line has a unique slope.


Hence it will be sufficient to prove that the slope calculated taking 2 points at a time should be equal.


Slope of line taking points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) is

slope+=+%28Y2-Y1%29%2F%28X2-X1%29


slope+=+%28%287-11%29%2F%28-2-4%29%29+=+0.666666666666667 ........................(1)



Slope of line taking points (X3,Y3) and (X1,Y1) is

slope+=+%28Y3-Y1%29%2F%28X3-X1%29


slope+=+%28%28-1-11%29%2F%281-4%29%29+=+4 ........................(2)



From conditions (1) and (2)


The 3 points do not a same line.


For all points to lie on a line they should satisfy the equation of a line. Hence any two points taken on a line should calculate to the same slope of a line.


Here the slopes are unequal hence the points do not lie on same line.

From conditions (1) and (2)


The slopes are equal hence the 3 points can lie on same line.


If the slope calculated from points (X2,Y2) and (X3,Y3) comes out to be same then it is confirmed that the 3 points lie on a same line.



slope+=+%28Y3-Y2%29%2F%28X3-X2%29


slope+=+%28%281-7%29%2F%281--2%29%29+=+-2 ........................(3)


From (1),(2) and (3)

Hence, It is proved that the 3 points lie on same line.
