Expert Answer
Name the points as say A,B and C.
Find distances AB,BC,CA using the distance formula.
Then, check the following.
AB+BC>AC
BC+CA>AB
CA+AB>BC
This property that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side must be satisfied for any 3 line segments to be the sides of a triangle.
If the property is not satisfied, then the re can't be a triangle with these points as vertices.
Depending on the lengths of the sides you can conclude whether the given triangle is equilateral, isoceles or scelene using definitions of these terms.
