Just for my notes how do we use coordinates to classify polygons on the coordinate plane?

Explanation:

Polygons are classified by ...

The number of coordinate pairs will define the number of vertices.

The differences between "adjacent" coordinate pairs can be used to find side lengths and relationships (angles, parallel, perpendicular).

If the differences between adjacent coordinate pairs are ...

  (∆x, ∆y) = (x2 -x1, y2 -y1)

then the slope of the line joining those coordinates is ∆y/∆x. (This may be "undefined" if ∆x = 0.) Two line segments with the same slope are parallel. Two line segments with slopes that have a product of -1 are perpendicular. (Two segments with slopes of 0 and "undefined" are also perpendicular.)

It can be useful on occasion to know that the angle (α) a line segment makes with the x-axis can be found from ...

  α = arctan(slope)

The length of a line segment (d) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  d = √((∆x)² +(∆y)²)

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles

both graphs increase on their domain

neither graph has a y-intercept

step-by-step explanation:

the following points can be visualized easily from the graph
