Question

Place a point D along AC such that BC is an altitude of ABC . Using coordinate algebra, find and record the coordinates of point D to satisfy these requirements. Explain how you arrived at your answer. 20 POINTS :)

Answer 1

D = (9.6,0) AC is horizontal with y = 0 at all points on AC. Also because BD is an altitude, it forms a right angle with AC, so BD is a vertical line. For all points on BD, x =9.6 .
