it's just a dashed line, it's imaginary, where the line would be if we were to make the right triangles
OpenStudy (aripotta):
see how for #2, the third point would be at (8,6)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Umm, not really.. >.> this is confusing.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i don't know how else to explain that :/

for each #, you're given two points along the line. the want to find a third point that would make a right triangle
OpenStudy (aripotta):
they* want
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so for #2, our points were (4,6) and (8,12). right triangles have a 90 degree angle, so we'll go straight across and down from the points to see where they intersect
OpenStudy (aripotta):
where they intersect will be our third point
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, i know that part. Thats what i did at first, but none of them had the acutal answer that was in the answer choices.

here's a look at #2 again
OpenStudy (aripotta):
(8,6) is where those two lines intersect, making it our third point
OpenStudy (aripotta):
(8,6) is answer choice c. so the answer for #2 is c
OpenStudy (aripotta):
make sense??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, kinda.
