Answer:
not collinear points
Step-by-step explanation:
If the points are collinear ( lie on the same line ) then the slopes between adjacent points will be equal.
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 7)
m =
=
= 2
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 11)
m =
=
= 1
Since the slopes are not equal then the points are not collinear
