The coordinates of the vertices of jkl are j(-5, -1), k(0, 1) , and l(2, -5). which statement correctly describes whether jkl is a right triangle?

It is NOT a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must figure out the slopes of the segments of the triangle to see if it is a right triangle. If they are perpendicular (meaning the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other), they form a right angle, making it a right triangle.

This formula finds slope using two points.

Let's figure out the slope of JK.

(-1-1)/(-5-0) = m

Simplify.

-2/-5 = m

A negative divided by a negative makes a positive.

2/5 = m

Now LK.

(-5-1)/(2-0) = m

Simplify.

-6/2 = m

Divide.

-3/1 = m

Now JL.

(-1+5)/(-5-2) = m

Simplify.

4/-3 = m

None of these slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, thus deeming it not a right triangle.

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
