Three points are collinear if the lines joining two pairs of them have
Asegments of equal length
Bproportional direction ratios
Cperpendicular directions
Didentical direction angles
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. proportional direction ratios
Proportional ratios make the two segments parallel, and a shared point then forces all three onto one line.
