Explanation of Solution
Accessor method:
//definition of "Point" class
public class Point
{
//declare the required variables
int x;
int y;
//definition of "isCollinear" method
public boolean isCollinear(Point p1, Point p2)
{
// check all points have same x or y value
if ((x == p1.x && x == p2.x) || (y == p1.y && y == p2.y))
{
//return the value
return true;
}
/* declare the variables and calculate the values*/
double slope1 = (p1.y - y) / (p1.x - x);
double slope2 = (p2.y - y) / (p2.x - x);
//return the result
return round(slope1, 4) == round(slope2, 4);
}
//definition of "round" method
private double round(double value, int places)
{
//iterate "i" until it reaches "places" value
for (int i = 0; i < places; i++)
{
//calculate "value"
value *= 10...
