Question

The vertices of a right triangle are (–6, 4), (0, 0), and (x, 4).



What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Have you plotted these points yet? (not including the one with the variable)

Answer 2

No I have not. To be honest I'm confused on the entire coordinate/plotting process. Could you explain?

Answer 3

Well we would first plot the points...so below is a picture of the plotted points... that is what first do.... next we would define on how a right triangle looks like which is ....

Answer 4

Now we know that the y-intercept which is y in (x,y) is 4....so we would find where the two segments meet 4 soo...
