A triangle has vertices T(-2,4), E(6,2), and D(1,-1). Is ATED a right triangle?
1 answer:
Answer:
- B. Yes, because ED is perpendicular to DT which makes a right angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot the given points and connect in pairs to get a triangle.
Visually we can say it is a right triangle as legs TD and ED seem perpendicular.
Let's confirm this by finding the slopes.
<u>Slope of TD:</u>
- m = (-1 - 4)/(1 -(-2)) = -5/3
<u>Slope of ED:</u>
- (-1 - 2)/ (1 - 6) = -3/-5 = 3/5
<u>Product of the slopes is:</u>
- -5/3*3/5 = -1
This confirms DT⊥ED
Correct choice is B

Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if (0,0) is a solution to the inequality, substitute 0 for x and 0 for y and check to see. Thus:
Substitute 0 for x and 0 for y:
Multiply:
Subtract:
So, (0,0) is <em>not</em> a solution.
And we're done!
