Let $A\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$ and $B\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ be in any two points in the plane. (a) Plot these points, (b) Obtain the right triangle formed by drawing a horizontal line from $A$ and a vertical line through $B$. What are the coordinates of the point at which these two lines intersect? (c) Using the theorem of Pythagoras, derive the distance formula.

The Line
The coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are 𝐴(−2; 0), 𝐵(3; 3) and 𝐶(−2; 4). Where are the points of intersection of the height line drawn from the vertex 𝐶 and the coordinate axes?
