Best answer
As these three points are collinear, the area formed by a triangle formed by joining these three points will be `0`.
`:. |[-2,0,1],[-1,1/sqrt3,1],[costheta,sintheta,1]| = 0`
`=>-2(1/sqrt3-sintheta)+1(-sintheta-costheta/sqrt3) = 0`
`=>2sintheta-sintheta-costheta/sqrt3 = 2/sqrt3`
`=>sintheta-costheta/sqrt3 = 2/sqrt3`
`=>sqrt3/2sintheta-1/2costheta = 1`
`=>cos(pi/6)sintheta-sin(pi/6)costheta = sin(pi/2)`
`=>sin(theta - pi/6) = sin(pi/2)`
`=>theta -pi/6 = pi/2`
`=>theta = pi/2+pi/6 = (4pi)/6 = (2pi)/3 `
