The points (a,a square),(b,b square) and (0,0) are not collinear if?

a is not equal to 0

b is not equal to 0

a is not equal to b

All of above

Dear student,(a,a2); (b,b2); (0,0)Area should be equal to 0 if they are not collinearArea=12[x1(y2-y3)+x2(y3-y1)+x3(y1-y2)]=12a(b2-0)+b(0-a2)+0(y1-y2)0ab2-ba20ab(b-a)0So, a0 ; b0; and b-a0 baTherefore, all of the above is correct,Regards
