Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle to be a right triangle there must be a pair adjacent sides which are at right angles to each other - that is whose slope product = -1.

Slope of AB = (4-2)/(-6- -3) = -2/3.

Slope of BC = (8-4)/ (1 - - 6) =  2/7

Slope of AC =  (8-2) / (1 - -3) = 6/4 = 3/2.

Now 3/2 * -2/3 = -1 so sides AB and AC are at right angles and the 3 points are the vertices of a right triangle.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

The property which is illustrated by the given statement is:

              D. Identity Property of Addition

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that an identity is a value which when added to any element of the set gives the resultant as the element itself.

Also, we know that the identity under addition is always: zero.

Because when zero is added to any number then the resultant is the number itself i.e. adding zero does not affect the value.

Hence, by the Identity Property of Addition we have:

                              0 + x = x
