test  a=3  b=5  ⇒ c=(9/(14))  α(3)= (((4/(13))),((3/(13))) )  α(5)= (((6/(31))),((5/(62))) )  α((9/(14)))= ((((322)/(403))),((−((3528)/(2015)))) )  line through the 1^(st)  and 2^(nd)   y=((121)/(92))x−(4/(23))  the 3^(rd)  is not on this line  ⇒ wrong

if there′s at least one counter example the  question is wrong

whenever an example like this one looks  complicated to transform, I make a few  tests to ensure it′s worth the effort
