Given that,         A = i^ + xj^ + 3k^,          B = 3i ^+ 4j^ + 7k^,         C = yi^ - 2j^ -5k^       AB = 2i^ + 4 - xj^ + 4k^,and BC = y - 3 i^ - 6j^ - 12k^Since, A, B, C are collinear, then      AB = tBC

2i^ + 4 - xj^ + 4k^ = ty - 3i^ - 6j^ - 12k^ 2i^ + 4 - xj^ + 4k^ = ty - 3i^ - 6tj^ - 12tk^Equating the coefficient, of i^, j^, k^  ty - 3 = 2 4 - x = - 6tand       4 = - 12t         t = - 13 4 - x = - 6- 13 = 2  x = 2and - 13y - 3 = 2                 y - 3 = - 6                    y = - 3Then (x, y) = (2, - 3)
