# 1037. Valid Boomerang

<https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-boomerang>

## Description

Given an array `points` where `points[i] = [xi, yi]` represents a point on the **X-Y** plane, return `true` *if these points are a **boomerang***.

A **boomerang** is a set of three points that are **all distinct** and **not in a straight line**.

**Example 1:**

```
**Input:** points = [[1,1],[2,3],[3,2]]
**Output:** true
```

**Example 2:**

```
**Input:** points = [[1,1],[2,2],[3,3]]
**Output:** false
```

**Constraints:**

* `points.length == 3`
* `points[i].length == 2`
* `0 <= xi, yi <= 100`
