Answer:

The triangle is not equilateral.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Distance from (a, a) to (-a, -a):

d_1 = \sqrt{(-a - a)^2 + (-a - a)^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{(-2a)^2 + (-2a)^2}

d_1 = \sqrt{8a^2}

Distance from (-a, -a) to (-3a, 3a):

d_2 = \sqrt{(-3a - (-a))^2 + (3a - (-a))^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{(-2a)^2 + (4a)^2}

d_2 = \sqrt{20a^2}

Distance from (-3a, 3a) to (a, a):

d_3 = \sqrt{(-3a - a)^2 + (3a - a)^2}

d_3 = \sqrt{(-4a)^2 + (2a)^2}

d_3 = \sqrt{20a^2}

The three sides do not have the same length, so the triangle is not equilateral.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations?
Andreyy89
We have to add the equations in a clever way such that one of the variables cancels out. If you multiply the top one with 3 and the bottom one with 2, you cancel x. Like this:

3(2x+3y)=3*6 => 6x + 9y = 18
2(-3x+5y)=2*10 => -6x + 10y = 20

9y + 10y = 38 => 19y = 38 => y=2

If y=2 then 2x + 6 = 6 => x=0

The pair (0,2) is a solution.
