I think they are saying that the base lies on the line
which is the y-axis.
The line through the vertex perpendicular to the base
has slope = 0
-----------------
One side has a positive slope of 1 ( 45 degrees )
The other side has slope of -1 ( 45 + 90 = 135 degrees )
------------------------------------
1st side:
Use point-slope formula:

-----------------
2nd side:

--------------------
check answers:
( -2,-3 )

OK
