The points ( 3 , 3 ) , ( h , 0 ) and ( 0 , k ) are collinear. What is the value of h 1 + k 1 ?

One line passing through ( 3 , 3 ) in R 2 can be written as y − 3 = m ( x − 3 ) ⇒ m 3 ( m − 1 ) = h and k = 3 ( 1 − m ) ⇒ h 1 + k 1 = 3 ( m − 1 ) m − 3 ( m − 1 ) 1 = 3 1 Note.- If m = 1 , h = k = 0 , but, I'm supossing that they are 3 collinear points.

Since, they are collinear (lie on same line), the slope between any two points must be equal.
Slope of line joining ( 3 , 3 ) and ( h , 0 ) = Slope of line joining ( h , 0 ) and ( 0 , k ) .
h − 3 0 − 3 = 0 − h k − 0
h − 3 − 3 = − h k
3 h = k ( h − 3 )
3 h = k h − 3 k
3 h + 3 k = k h
Dividing both sides by 3 k h , we get
h 1 + k 1 = 3 1
