Match each pair of points with the coordinate that will make a right triangle with its hypotenuse along the graph shown. First-quadrant graph showing a ray through the origin and the points (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 8), and (4, 8). Column A Column B 1. (1, 2) and (2, 4) 2. (2, 4) and (3, 6) 3. (2, 4) and (4, 8) 4. (1, 2) and (3, 6) A. (3, 2) B. (3, 4) C. (5, 6) D. (2, 2) E. (4, 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

points are at (1,2) (2,4) (3,6) (4,8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmate could you help?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So is the third point (3,6) or (3,8)? You indicated (3,8) in the first paragraph.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

*second paragraph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no on the graph the points are (1,2) (2,4) (3,6) (4,8)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Do you know what is the condition that two lines are perpendicular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I attach the file so I can show you the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind I got it

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You don't need to, I'll draw it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u sure

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1445523883878:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it just showed the arrow and it was going sideways... and going up it the numbers were (1,2) (2,4) (3,6) (4,8)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1445523998433:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1445524068711:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but with out the black lines

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So there, you need to figure out the coordinates of the vertex of each of the right angles that I drew.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The black (vertical and horizontal) lines are the hints I give you. You will need to figure the coordinates of the points where the angle is a right angle. For example, for the right triangle joining points (1,2) and (2,4), the coordinate of the third vertex is (2,2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so number 1 is D and 2 is B 3 is E and 4 is A

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I don't work with letters, I only work with the actual values. Please translate the A, B ... into the actual values. I can check those for you if you do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just going with what i think... i think im right

OpenStudy (mathmate):

It's up to you. If you say (1,2), (2,4) and (2,2) form a right triangle, you will notice something and learn from it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I'll tell you what I get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 100% yay!!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Congrats, you got 100% without learning what they want you to learn.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how i was suppose to do it i was confused so I looked in my book and it explained it
