Question:medium

If the points \[ (\alpha,4,2),\ (6,\beta,-1)\ \text{and}\ (8,\beta-7) \] are collinear, then \(\alpha+\beta=\)

Show Hint

Three points are collinear if the vectors joining them are proportional: \[ \boxed{\overrightarrow{AB}=\lambda\,\overrightarrow{BC}.} \] Compare the corresponding coordinates to determine the unknowns.
