Question

80 PTS!!Two vertices of a right triangle have coordinates (6,-2) and (1,6).

Select EACH ordered pair that could be the coordinates of the third vertex.

[](1,1)
[](6,6)
[](-2,1)
[](1,-2)

Answer 1

• (6, 6) and (1, -2)

Explanation:

Let the given points represent the vertices of the hypotenuse.

Then the parallel lines to each coordinate axis will have intersection at other vertices.

The vertices will be the combination of (x₁, y₂) or (x₂, y₁) of the given ordered pairs:

• (6, 6) and (1, -2)

See the attached to be more clear.
