You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do I determine the missing vertex of a right triangle with vertices of (6,2) and (5,5) if the third vertex is on the y-axis
=======================
Either of the 2 points can be the 90 deg angle.
--> 2 solutions are possible.
----
Find the slope of the line thru the given points.
Then find the eqn of the line perpendicular thru each point.
--------------------
The point on the y-axis is (0,y)
