Answer: Yes, points are collinear.

Hints: First by using the values of vertices find determinant. If value of determinant is zero, then points are collinear.

Given\! : \left ( 5,5 \right ),\left ( -5,1 \right )\: and \: \left ( 10,7 \right )\! .

Explanation\! : V\! ertices\; are \left ( 5,5 \right ),\left ( -5,1 \right )\: and \: \left ( 10,7 \right )\! .

Determinant\!= \begin{vmatrix} X_{1} &Y_{1} &1 \\ X_{2} &Y_{2} &1 \\ X_{3} &Y_{3} &1 \end{vmatrix}

                            = \begin{vmatrix} 5 &5 &1 \\ -5 &1 &1 \\ 10 &7 &1 \end{vmatrix}R_{1}\rightarrow R_{1}+R_{2}

                          = \begin{vmatrix} 0 &6 &2 \\ -5 &1 &1 \\ 10 &7 &1 \end{vmatrix}R_{2}\rightarrow R_{2}-R_{3}

                          = \begin{vmatrix} 0 &6 &2 \\ -15 &-6 &0 \\ 10 &7 &1 \end{vmatrix}

                          = 0\begin{vmatrix} -6 &0 \\ 7 &1 \end{vmatrix}-6\begin{vmatrix} -15 &0 \\ 10 &1 \end{vmatrix}+2\begin{vmatrix} -15 &-6 \\ 10 &7 \end{vmatrix}

                          = 0-6\left ( -15-0 \right )+2\left ( -105+60 \right )

                          = 90+2\left ( -45 \right )

                          = 90-90

                          = 0

Hence, points are collinear.
