Question 1011755: Triangle TJK is a 45 degree-45 degree-90 degree triangle with right angle at J. What are the coordinates of T in Quadrant II For J(-2,-3) and K(3,-3). Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, josmiceli:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The side JT is perpendicular to the
side JK.
Find the slope of JK:
J(-2,-3) and K(3,-3)
Zero slope is a horizontal line, so any
line perpendicular to it is a vertical line
-----------------
The side JT goes through J( -2,-3 ), so
it's equation is
------------------------
The length of horizontal line JK is:
-----------
Since it's a 45-45-90 triangle, side JT also
is units long.
It's a vertical line and the x-coordinate is
Point T is:
T( -2, 5 )
Note this is in quadrant 2 also
