Question
Use slope to show that angle ABC with vertices A(0,2), B(2,3), and C(1,5)is a right triangle.
how is this done can u show me?
thank you.

Answer
approach is still the same as the second question. use the formula given in one of the previous reply for gradient calculation.

Also, please stop sending in so many questions.
I have a quota of 3 questions per day. And I only have time to handle that many. If you take them all up, you will deny others the opportunity to pose me questions. u know what i mean.

Expertise

When I work through problems, I like to emphasize concepts which I believe are worth noting. I will try to answer questions in the following areas, but not at the advanced level. Algebra. Sequences & Series. Trigonometry. Functions & Graphs. Coordinate Geometry. Quadratic Polynomials. Exponential & Logarithms. Basic Calculus. Probability, Permutation and Combination. Mathematical Induction. Complex numbers. Physics problems.

Experience

I have worked as a teaching assistant in college. My hope is that more people will share knowledge without boundary, give help without seeking recognition or monetary rewards.
