Let  the points are

.

Slope of AB = image.

The slope is undefined, so the vertical line AB is x = 1.

Slope of BC .

Point - slope form : .

Substitute the values of slope(m) = - 1/2 and in Point - slope form.

.

The line equation of BC is image.

Slope of CA .

Point - slope form : .

Substitute the values of slope(m) = 5/2 and in Point - slope form.

image.

The line equation of CA is image.

Therefore the three equations of the triangle are x = 1, image and image.
