1232. Check If It Is a Straight Line

Difficulty Topics

Description

You are given an array coordinates, coordinates[i] = [x, y], where [x, y] represents the coordinate of a point. Check if these points make a straight line in the XY plane.

 

 

Example 1:

Input: coordinates = [[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[5,6],[6,7]]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: coordinates = [[1,1],[2,2],[3,4],[4,5],[5,6],[7,7]]
Output: false

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= coordinates.length <= 1000
  • coordinates[i].length == 2
  • -10^4 <= coordinates[i][0], coordinates[i][1] <= 10^4
  • coordinates contains no duplicate point.

        (x0,y0), (x1,y1) = coordinates[:2]

        return all((x1-x0) * (y-y1) == (x-x1) * (y1-y0) for x,y in coordinates)
