Solve for .
The general formula for finding the roots of a quadratic equation is .
The inflection points at and
.
Substitute in the function.
Substitute in the function.
Substitute in the function.
Therefore the inflection points are ,
and
.
Consider the two points are and
.
Find the slope between the two points.
\Now consider the two points are and
.
Find the slope between the two points.
\Observe the two slopes, the slopes are equal.
\Therefore the inflection points are lie in a same straight line.
\ \The inflection points are lie in a same straight line.
