Answer:

An ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle ABC with vertices at A(-5, 4), B(4, 1), and C(1, -8), to know the type of triangle this is, we need to find the three sides of the triangles by taking the distance between the points.

Distance between two points is expressed as:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For side |AB|:

A(-5, 4) and B(4, 1)

|AB| = √(4-(-5))²+(1-4)²

|AB| = √9²+3²

|AB| = √90

For side |BC|

B(4, 1), and C(1, -8)

|BC| =√(1-4)²+(-8-1)²

|BC| = √3²+9²

|BC| = √90

For side |AC|:

A(-5, 4) and C(1, -8).

|AC| = √(1-(-5))²+(-8-4)²

|AC| = √6²+12²

|AC| = √36+144

|AC| = √180

Based on the distances, it is seen that side AB and BC are equal which shows that two sides of the triangle are equal. A triangle that has two of its sides to be equal is known as an ISOSCELES TRIANGLE. Therefore the term that correctly describes the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Write an equation in point-slope form and slope - intercwpt form for passes through (1,9),slope =2
GrogVix [38]

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-9 = 2(x-1)


change to slope intercept form

y-9 = 2(x-1)

distribute

y-9 = 2x-2

add 9 to each side

y = 2x-2+9

y = 2x+7
