Question

Find the perimeter of the polygon with the given vertices x(-1,3) y(3,0) z(-1,-2)

Answer 1

x(-1,3) y(3,0) z(-1,-2)

xy

m = (3 + 1)/(0 - 3) = 4/-3 = -4/3

y - 3 = -4/3(x + 1)

y - 3 = -4/3x - 4/3

xy: y = -4/3x + 5/3

yz

m = (0 + 2)/(3 + 1) = 2/4 = 1/2

y = 1/2(x - 3)

yz: y = 1/2x - 3/2

xz

m = (3 + 2)/(-1 + 1) = 5/0 = undefined

y - 3 = undefined(x + 1)

xz: x = -1

xy: y = -4x/3 + 5/3

yz: y = x/2 - 3/2

xz: x = -1
