Determine whether the three points are collinear. (3, -10), (-2, -7), (0, -5)

The points are not collinear.

Solution:

Let A, B and C be (3, -10), (-2, -7) and (0, -5).

If slopes of any two points are same, then the points are collinear.

Slope formula:

Slope of AB:

Slope of BC:

Slope of CA:

Slope of AB ≠ Slope of BC ≠ Slope of AC

Therefore the points are not collinear.

answer: .75 km

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
