Answer:
(a) isosceles
(b), (c) scalene
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.
We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.
The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.

It is impossible to specify an equilateral triangle using rational coordinates.
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the 2 sides marked with the double lines are equal:
5y-1 = 2y+11
3y = 12
y = 4.
Also :
3x-5 + 2(2x+5) = 180
3x - 5 + 4x + 10 = 180
7x = 180 + 5 -10
7x = 175
x = 175/7 = 25.
First you do what is inside the parentheses. 10 x 5 - 3. 50 - 3 =47. Then you multiply 47 x 5 = 235.
