The coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form a right triangle True or False
Try drawing it please.
You will not learn anything if I draw it for you...
Do u have any grap paper?
If so... you draw GRAPH andplot the points and see for yourself
Alternative Way: Find the slopes of the following segments: AB, BC, AC Then multiply these slopes in pairs (slope of AB * slope of BC, slope of AB * slope of AC, slope of BC * slope of AC) if any product is -1, then you have two perpendicular line segments
no it just asks me true or false with the question
When given points A(x,y) the first number goes on the x-axis and the second number on the y-axis.
for that to be a right angled triangle two of the lines must be parallel so we check that by multipling their gradients if the are their product must be -1
@ThreeOne "... two of the lines must be parallel .." should be " two of the lines must be -parallel- perpendicular"
thanx skulpatrol I rily meant perpendicular
@autumnpoteet To answer true or false you should really try to get a visual picture of what it looks like, no?
