Question

Please help. Given the three points A = [-6, -1], B = [2, 1], and C = [-2, 1]. Consider the triangle △ABC and let M be the point on AC so that BM is the altitude through B perpendicular to AC. Likewise, let N be the point on AB so that CN is the altitude through C perpendicular to AB. Find the coordinates of the points M and N.

Step 1

To find the equation of the line AC, we need to find the slope of the line and a point on the line. The slope of the line AC can be found using the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Using the coordinates of points A and C, we can calculate the slope of the Show more…
