Use the Distance Formula to determine whether the points (7,9) ,(7,4) ( 7,9 ) , ( 7,4 ) (7,9) ,(7,4) and (7,7) ( 7,7 ) (7,7) are collinear.
A) not collinear \text { not collinear } not collinear
B) collinear \text { collinear } collinear
Distance Formula

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The points are collinear because they all have the same x-coordinate (7), indicating they lie on a vertical line. The distance formula is not necessary to conclude this, as the alignment on the same x-coordinate directly shows collinearity.
