Just test whether they are collinear or not .... i.e. get the slopes,

m1 from 1st and 2nd point
m2 from 2nd and 3rd point

if m1==m2 then they do not form a triangle
else they do

Computing the area of the triangle and testing for 0 might also
work .... but I feel that the computation will be bigger ....
