Prove that triangle XYZ is a right triangle with the coordinates X(-3,6), Y(5,5), and Z(3,2) Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hint: use the slope formula to find the slopes of XY, YZ, and XZ. If you find that two slopes multiply to -1, then they are perpendicular slopes (and thus form a right angle to make a right triangle).
