Very interesting, why the test# 3 is not passed. It turned out that the two number
(x4-x1)*(y2-y1) is not the same as (y4-y1)*(x2-x1) due to floating point. I have to compare the subtraction with 10*eps.

Very interesting. I could not understand why I had not passed the test# 3. It turned out that the two number (x4-x1)*(y2-y1) and (y4-y1)*(x2-x1) are not the same due to floating point. My choice is to compare the absolute difference with 10*eps.
