15. Show that the points (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a) do not lie on a straight line for any value of a.

Solution:

Given points are (a + 5, a – 4), (a – 2, a + 3) and (a, a).

Now, we have to prove that these points do not lie on a straight line.

So, if we prove that these points form a triangle then it can’t line on a straight line.

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 4 - 33

Hence, the given points form a triangle and can’t lie on a straight line.
