Expand the determinant |A|

|A| = y1(z2 - z3) + y2(z3 - z1) + y3(z1 - z2)

|A| =( - ) + ( - ) + ( - )

|A| =(0) + (0) + (0)

|A| =0 + 0 + 0

|A| =0

Expand the determinant |B|

|B| = z1(x2 - x3) + z2(x3 - x1) + z3(x1 - x2)

|B| = (1%2C3%2C5 - 9%2C8%2C4) + (9%2C8%2C4 - ) + ( - 1%2C3%2C5)

|B| =(-8) + (9) + (-1)

|B| =0 + 0 + 0

|B| =0

Expand the determinant |C|

|C| = x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2)

|C| = ( - ) + 1%2C3%2C5( - ) + 9%2C8%2C4( - )

|C| =(0) + 1%2C3%2C5(0) + 9%2C8%2C4(0)

|C| =0 + 0 + 0

|C| =0

Expand the determinant |D|

|D| = x1(y2z3 - y3z2) + x2(y3z1 - y1z3) + x3(y1z2 - y2z1)

|D| = (() - ()) + 1%2C3%2C5(() - ()) + 9%2C8%2C4(() - ())

|D| = (0 - 0) + 1%2C3%2C5(0 - 0) + 9%2C8%2C4(0 - 0)

|D| = (0) + 1%2C3%2C5(0) + 9%2C8%2C4(0)

|D| = 0 + 0 + 0

|D| =0
