Answer

non collinear

Work Step by Step

D(-1,-1), E(2,-2) and F(5,-5) To find D,E,F are collinear or not We need to find out the slope of DE and EF m(DE) =m = $\frac{-2-(-1)}{2-(-1)}$ = $\frac{-3}{2}$ m(EF) =m = $\frac{-5-(-2)}{5-2)}$ = $\frac{-3}{3}$ = -1 m(AB) $\ne$ m(BC) therefore D,E,F are non collinear
