Question 881582: The coordinates (-2,8), (-2,2) and a third coordinate will be vertices of a triangle. Give two different coordinates that will serve as the third vertex such that the triangle formed is isosceles. Explain how you derived the answers

Isoceles triangles have at least 2 equal length sides.

Any point on the green line (except at x=-2) will form an isosceles triangle with the other two points.
