Answer:
No; the slopes of segment EF and segment DF are not opposite reciprocals.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope between two points O(e, f) and X (g,h) is given as:
The slopes of segment EF and segment DF are given below:
For triangle DEF to be a right triangle, DF and EF are supposed to be perpendicular to each other. Two line are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1, i.e the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal (opposite reciprocal) of the other line.
Since the slope of DF and EF are not opposite reciprocals, ΔDEF is not a right triangle.
