Without using the distance formula show that the points A(4,-2),B(-4,4) and C(10,6) are the vertices of a right angled triangle |

Answer» SLOPE=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) slope of AB=(4-(-2))/(-4-4)=-(6/8)=-(3/4) slope of BC=(6-(4))/(10-(-4))=(2/14)=(1/7) slope of CA=(-2-6)/(4-10)=(8/6)=(4/3) slope of AB * slope of CA=-(3/4)*(4/3)=-1 so AB is perpendicular to CA thus,ABC are the vertices of a right ANGLED triangle. |
