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
