the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1
<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>
From the figure given, we can deduce the coordinates of the sides
For A
A ( 4,2)
For B
B ( 4, 5)
C ( 1, 2)
D ( 2, -4 )
E ( 5, -4)
F ( 2, -1)
The slope for BC
Slope =
Substitute the values for both B and C coordinates, we have
Slope =
Find the difference for both the numerator and denominator
Slope =
Slope = 1
We have the rotation for both point ( 0, 1)
y - y1 = m ( x - x1)
The values for y1 and x1 are 1 and 0 respectively and the slope m is 1
Substitute the values
y - 1 = 1 ( x - 0)
y - 1 = x
Make 'y' the subject of formula
y = x + 1
Thus, the equation in the slope-intercept of the side of triangle ABC that is perpendicular to segment EF is y = x + 1
