Problema Solution
Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.
The line containing the midpoints of the legs of right triangle ABC where A(-5, 5), B(1, 1), and C(3, 4) are the vertices.
Answer provided by our tutors
The vertex at right angle is (1,1).
The mid points of the legs are (-2, 3) and (2, 2.5)
Slope = (2.5 - 3)/(2 - -2) = -1/8
equation is
y - 3 = -1/8(x - -2)
8(y - 3) = -1(x + 2)
8y - 24 = - x - 2
8y + x - 22 = 0
