show that the line A(-6,4),(-2,12),(0,1) are the vertices of a right triangle.
m1 = 12 - 4 / -2 + 6
= 8/4
= 2
m2 = 1-12/0+2
= -11/2
m3 = 1-4 /0+6
= -3/6
m3 = -1/2
since the slope m3 = -1/2 and m1 = 2 are negative reciprocal of one another then they are perpendicular to each other and so they are vertices of a right triangle.
