The line is already written in the
form. This means that
is the slope. If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are the anti-inverse of each other, i.e. their product is -1.
So, our perpendicular line has a slope of
Finally, we want a line passing through (1,1) with slope :
Given:
Vertices of a square are A(-4,6), B(5,6) C(4,-2), and D(-5,-2).
To find:
The intersection of the diagonals of square ABCD.
Solution:
We know that diagonals of a square always bisect each other. It means intersection of the diagonals of square is the midpoint of diagonals.
In the square ABCD, AC and BD are two diagonals. So, intersection of the diagonals is the midpoint of both AC and BD.
We can find midpoint of either AC or BD because both will result the same.
Midpoint of A(-4,6) and C(4,-2) is
Therefore, the intersection of the diagonals of square ABCD is (0,2).
