Let A = (3,2), B = (1,5), and P (x,y). Find x- and y-values that make ABP a right angle.

The only thing that's throwing me off is, do they name it ABP to say the right angle must be formed at point B?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

If not, then exactly ^

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I guess so

OpenStudy (retireed):

Your right my bad.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I got that the points will lie on the line y= 2/3x+(4 1/3)

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

That will be the line that is perpendicular to point B.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes so I guess that one possible point can be (4,7)

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Is this correct? I need to move on to the next question that I really need help on.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Can you please help me on the second question?
