Solution

(i) Let P (x, y) be any point on the line joining points A (1, 2) and B (3, 6). Then, the points A, B, and P are collinear. Therefore, the area of triangle ABP will be zero.

Hence, the equation of the line joining the given points is y = 2x.

(ii) Let P (x, y) be any point on the line joining points A (3, 1) and

B (9, 3). Then, the points A, B, and P are collinear. Therefore, the area of triangle ABP will be zero.

Hence, the equation of the line joining the given points is x āˆ’ 3y = 0.
