Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slopes between pairs of the 3 points using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 9)
m = =
=
= 1
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 9)
m = =
= - 1
If lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1 , then
1 × - 1 = -1
Thus there is a right angle between the 2 lines
Then triangle is right- angled
