Please Help me (; How to use slope and distance to classify a quadilateral?

We use the slope to find if the sides of the quadrilateral are parallel or not. If any two sides have equal slope means those both sides are parallel. Distance is used to find if the sides are equal or not.

first thing we know about triangle is that both sides have same slope but one is negative and the other is positive.

So how is the question answered??

OpenStudy (imer):

Between to remind you, Triangle is NOT a quadrilateral. A quadrilateral has four sides.

OpenStudy (imer):

If it's an isosceles triangle then both sides have to be equal, else if its equilateral triangle then all sides have to be equal.

OpenStudy (imer):

You use the distance to find which sides are equal, if two sides are equal then its an isosceles triangle and if three sides are equal, then its a equilateral triangle. That's all about triangle.

@imer Thanks so much your the best (; how slope can tell us if to things are parralel or perpendicular??

OpenStudy (imer):

If the two lines have same slope, then they parallel, else if the second line have a slope which is reciprocal of the first line's slope and it negative , then its perpendicular to the first line.
