Collinear Points: Clarify Relationships With Precise Naming
Collinear points, when named, are typically identified by uppercase letters, such as A, B, and C. These points lie on a straight line and follow a specific order. For example, if points A, B, and C are collinear, then they can be represented as either AB or BC, indicating the direction of the line from point A to B or from point B to C, respectively. This naming convention helps in understanding the relationships and orientation of the points on the line.
