Algebra.Com's Answer #642424 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw it carefully. If you label the points correctly you will see that it is in fact not a right triangle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To verify, use the slope formula to find the slope between each pair of points. You will obtain three different slopes corresponding to the three points. The triangle is a right triangle if and only if two of the slopes have a product of -1 (or if one is horizontal and the other is vertical, but that is not the case here).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try again, and be careful. \n" ); document.write( " |
