What's Collinear Mean?

We determined the word collinear has to do with lines and linear functions. More precisely, the word collinear was used today to describe points that fall on the same line. If points are collinear, then the slope of the segment connecting any two of the points will be a constant. We spent some time in class today working with sets of 3 points. We found the slope between groups of 2 of the points, and compared results to determine if the points were collinear.
