A straight line passes through the points with coordinates (-3, -2) (1,6) and (k,16). Work out the value of k

If A, B and C are collinear points - i.e. those lie on the same straight line - then the slope of the line AB = the slope of the line BC =the slope of the line CA.

What are your thoughts regarding the assignment?

If you are stuck at the beginning tell us and we'll start with the definitions.

You want us to work out the value for k. Sorry but that will not happen. We will help you but please tell us where you are stuck.
