You are given an integer 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.

Hints

Hint 1
If there're only 2 points, return true.
Hint 2
Check if all other points lie on the line defined by the first 2 points.
Hint 3
Use cross product to check collinearity.
