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.

Please help! I have no idea how to do this.
dlinn [17]

11.  y=-1/3x-4

Plug the slope into m in y=mx+b and  then plug in your point and solve for b. You get C

12.  Parallel means it has the same slope or the same m, so the -1/2 stays the same and you plug that and your point into the y=mx+b and solve for b again. You get D, y=-1/2x-9

13.   Perpendicular means that the slope is the opposite reciprocal so you flip it and multiply it by -1. You then plug that in for your slope and plug in your points and you get A, y=9x+13
