OpenStudy (freckles):

I would plot the points first.

OpenStudy (freckles):

this will give you sorta an idea of where the third point could be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help?

OpenStudy (freckles):

From my drawing and if you did a drawing it might look like the 90 angle happens at the (4,y) point so it looks like you might want to think about comparing slopes for the lines that are perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it A, B, C, or D

OpenStudy (freckles):

try drawing it

OpenStudy (freckles):

your perpendicular lines are a horizontal verus a vertical it really is easy to tell from just drawing it

OpenStudy (freckles):

can plot the 3 points?

OpenStudy (freckles):

Good luck.

OpenStudy (freckles):

I will help you if you want to try but it seems you don't want to.
