To find the equations of the sides of triangle MNK, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation. The equation for a line passing through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
y - y1 = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) * (x - x1)
For the line passing through points M(-1, 2) and N(5, 3):
y - 2 = (3 - 2) / (5 - (-1)) * (x - (-1))
Simplifying, we get:
y - 2 = 1/6 * (x + 1)
For the line passing through points N(5, 3) and K(4, 1):
y - 3 = (1 - 3) / (4 - 5) * (x - 5)
Simplifying, we get:
y - 3 = -2 * (x - 5)
