Problema Solution

If the determinant on the right is 0, then three points (x1,y1,), (x2,y2),(x3,y3) are collinear. If the determinant does not equal 0, then the three points are not collinear. Are the points (1,0), (-1,2), and (0,1) collinear?

Yes or no?

the phrase "determinant on the right" is unclear, it appears to reference some supplemental material


pick any two of these points and the linear equation connecting them is:

y = -x + 1


these points are colinear
