Can someone help me understand this ???
1 answer:
The perimeter is the sum of all sides of the triangle. Since the triangle is not straight you must use the distance formula which is basically the Pythagorean theorem but used coordinates to solve for the sides.
I like to just use the Pythagorean theorem instead of coordinates. If you draw right triangles on the one in the picture with hypotenuse as the unknown sides.
3^2 + 5^2 = (AB)^2
9 + 25 = 34
sqrt(34) = AB
1^2 + 2^2 = (AC)^2
1 + 4 = 5
sqrt(5) = AC
3^2 + 4^2 = (BC)^2
9 + 16 = 25
sqrt(25) = 5 = BC
add up sides
perimeter = sqrt(34) + sqrt(5) + 5

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: Is the slope
b: Is the cut-off point with the y axis
According to the data of the statement we have to:
Then, the equation is of the form:
We substitute the point and find "b":
Thus, the equation is of the form:
To graph we substitute the points on the coordinate axis:
