The coordinates A(2, 1), B(7, 1), C(2, 4) form a right triangle True or False

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Try drawing it please.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You will not learn anything if I draw it for you...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u have any grap paper?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it just asks me true or false with the question

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

When given points A(x,y) the first number goes on the x-axis and the second number on the y-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@ThreeOne "... two of the lines must be parallel .." should be " two of the lines must be -parallel- perpendicular"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx skulpatrol I rily meant perpendicular

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

@autumnpoteet To answer true or false you should really try to get a visual picture of what it looks like, no?
