Your question is not correct Recheck your question Section Formula: The co-ordinate of the point which divides the line segment joining the point

and

internally in the ratio

are given by,

Let C(-1,1) divides the line segment joining A(-3,1) and B(1,3) in the ratio m:n So, coordinate of C,

Since

is not true Hence, the given point is not collinear

: Using section formula, show that the points A (- 3, 1), B (1, 3) and C (- 1, 1) are collinear.
