Question

Place a point D along AC such that BD is an altitude of ABC. Using coordinate algebra, find and record the coordinates of point D to satisfy these requirements. Explain how you arrived at your answer

Answer 1

Sample answer from Edmentum

Answer:

D = (9.6,0). AC is horizontal with y=0 at all points on AC. Also, because BD is an altitude, it forms a right angle with AC, so BD is a vertical line. For all points on BD, x= 9.6.

Hope this helps, have a good day (:
