  1. Here, A(1,5), B(2, 3) and C(-2,-11).
    Using distance formula: √((x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²)
    AB = √((2-1)²+(3-5)²) = √(1+4) = √5
    BC = √((-2-2)²+(-11-3)²) = √(16+196) = √212
    CA = √((1-(-2))²+(5-(-11))² = √(9+256) = √265
    Here, AB+BC = √5+√212 ≠ √265 = AC
    Hence, the points A(1,5), B(2,3) and C(-2,-11) are not collinear.
