Question

Help with Equation of Lines.

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.

The line containing the hypotenuse of right triangle ABC where A(-5, 5), B(1, 1), and C(3, 4) are the vertices.

Answer 1

Here is the triangle http://www3.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP3619f3g38d3ac7dif10000398g189095cf05h7?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=11&w=300&h=300
As you can see hypotenuse is on (-5,5) and (3,4)
(without using the graph,you should look which two points have more distance between them.As this is a right triangle,hypotenuse is the longest line of triangle
and we know the two points of the line,therefore line can be calculated.
