(Geometry: point on line segment) Exercise 4.31 shows how to test whether a point is on an unbounded line. Revise Exercise 4.31 to test whether a point is on a line segment. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the x- and y-coordinates for the three points p0, p1, and p2 and displays whether p2 is on the line segment from p0 to p1. Here are some sample runs:
Enter coordinates for the three points p0, p1, and p2: 1, 1, 2.5, 2.5, 1.5, 1.5
(1.5, 1.5) is on the line segment from (1.0, 1.0) to (2.5, 2.5)
Enter coordinates for the three points p0, p1, and p2: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3.5, 3.5
(3.5, 3.5) is not on the line segment from (1.0, 1.0) to
(2.0, 2.0)
