Prove that quadrilateral A(1,-2), B(13,4),

C(6,8) and D(-2,4) is a trapezoid, but is NOT an isosceles trapezoid.


Prove that A(-2,2), B(1,4), C(2,8) and D(-1,6) is a parallelogram
Prove that A(-3,2), B(-2,6), C(2,7) and D(1,3) is a rhombus
Prove that A(4,-1), B(5,6), C(1,3) is an isosceles right triangle
Find the points on the coordinate axes that are equidistant from the the
points A(1, 0) and B(0, 3).
Let the point (x, 0) be any point on the xaxis that is equidistant from
the points A and B.
Distance between point A(1, 0) and (x, 0) = Distance between
point B(0, 3) and (x, 0).

Simplifying:

Square both sides to remove the radical sign.


Gather like terms.
2x = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
Hence the point on the xaxis equidistant from the points A and B is (4,
0).

Give an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment


joining the two points:(4, 9.2), (5.2, 2.8)

Substitute 4 for x1, 9.2 for y1, 5.2 for x2, and 2.8 for y2 in the midpoint
formula:

= (4.6, 3.2)

The slope of the line segment is:

The slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of 10.


The slope of the perpendicular bisector is 1/10.

The pointslope form is:

Subtract 3.2 from both sides:

This is the equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
