Slope form is y/x
to find this subtract -5, 7 by -3, 5 to get
-2, 2 and putting it in slope format....2/-2 which would be -1 or just -x (means -1x)
so far we've found out.....y = -x (+b)
b is what we need to find now so... plug in one of the coordinates
7=5+b (5 because --5 is positive 5)
b=2
so FINALLY the equation would be y = -x + 2
To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)
7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.
Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.
dilation is when a shape changes size, from small to big or big to small.
