Answer:
Given,
ABC is triangle with vertices A(-2,1), B(2,2) and C(6, -2)
Slope of BC(m_1) =
Since AD is perpendicular to BC
let slope of BC be ().
We have for perpendicular
Now equation of line passing through point A(-2,1) is
y-1=1(x-(-2))
y-1=x+2
y=x+2+1
y=x+3 which is a required equation of the altitude of AD drawn from A to BC.
