2. Plot the points D = (-2, -1), E = (0, 7), F = (3, 2) and form the triangle DEF. State whether the triangle is an
isosceles triangle, a right triangle, neither of these, or both.
3. Plot the point P = (0, 0), Q = (6, 0), and R = (4, 4) and form the triangle PQR. Find the lengths of the
medians of the triangle.
4. Plot the points A = (0, 0), B = (1, 3), C = (4, 2) and D = (3,-1) and form the quadrilateral. Using slopes
formula determine the name of the quadrilateral.
5. Plot the points A = (-1, 0), B = (2, 3), C = (1,-2) and D = (4, 1) and form the quadrilateral. Using slopes
show that the quadrilateral is a rectangle. Find its area
7. Find the equation of the line passing through the centers of the circles
and
10. Let f (x ) = x 2 − 2 x .
(a) Find the average rate of change from x=1 to x=4.
(b) Find the equation of the secant line containing the points (1, f (1)) and (4, f (4)) .
(c) Draw the graph of the secant line.
