What are ways using coordinate geometry, that I could determine that this is a trapezoid?

One method to see it's a trapezoid is to find the slope of lines BC and AD.

The slope formula is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You should find that BC and AD both have the same slope (of -1), so that means the lines are parallel. That proves we have a trapezoid.

-----------------------

To prove this trapezoid is isosceles, you can use the distance formula

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

to find the lengths of AB and CD (the two non-parallel sides). You should find that AB = CD.

Because AB and CD are horizontal and vertical respectively, this means you can simply count out the spaces to find that AB and CD are 3 units each. For any other rotated version of this trapezoid, use the distance formula instead.

Given: 11x-6y=-1; x=8
wolverine [178]
To solve this, simply substiture 8 in for x, and solve for y.

11(8) -6y = -1

Multiply 11 by 8

88 - 6y = -1

Subtract 88 from each side of the equation.

-6y = -89

Lastly divide each side of the equation by -6

y = 89/6 is your answer.

Hope this helps!

Which quadrilaterals have two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel and have no right angles?
Grace [21]
A trapezoid does not have 2 pair of parallel sides so we can cross that out. A rhombus does not have right angles so cross that out. So we got A and C. A square has 2 pair of parallel lines and and 4 right angle. Your answers should be.
<span>C. Square
It could not be A. Most likely its C. So you can pick both or just C.</span>
