Question 1119523: Let A= (-6,7), B= (-4,11), and C= (-2,10) be three points in the xy-coordinate plane.
(a) Verify that the three points form a right triangle, and identify the point at the vertex where the right angle is. (use distance formula)
(b) Determine the midpoint of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
(c) Find the equation of the line through the midpoint of the hypotenuse and the vertex opposite the hypotenuse (where the right angle is).
