Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

The points (-a,-b), (a,b), (a2,ab) forms 

Moderate
Solution

The slope of the line joining the points (a,b), (-a,-b) is b+ba+a=2b2a=ba

The slope of the line joining the points (a2,ab), (a,b) is b-aba-a2=b(1-a)a(1-a)=ba

Observing the above two slopes, they are equal so that the given points are collinear, they forms a straight line
