Do the points $A(6,4)$, $B(4,-3)$, and $C(-2,3)$ form an isosceles triangle or a right triangle? How do you know?
I tried converting these to polar coordinates..

How about computing the side-lengths of the triangle?

Why polar? Compute the distances between all the points.

I highly recommend graphing those points and then computing the distances between them.

Hint: Compute $$AB=sqrt(4-6)^2+(-3-4)^2=…$$
$$BC=sqrt(-2-4)^2+(3-(-3))^2=…$$

$$AB=sqrt(4-6)^2+(-3-4)^2=sqrt53\BC=sqrt(-2-4)^2+(3-(-3))^2=sqrt72\AC=sqrt(-2-6)^2+(3-4)^2=sqrt65$$This is not a right triangle because $a^2+b^2ne c^2$.
This not an isosceles triangle because no two sides are equal.
