Perpendicular at AB is 3x+y =3
Perpendicular at BC is 7y+x =21
Perpendicular at AC is 3y-x = 9
•Coordinates vertices of a triangle
are (0, 3), (2, -3)
•Perpendicular at AB
•Slope of AB =(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
=(4-3)/(3-0)
=1/3
•also , slope of AB× slope of
perpendicular= -1
•slope of perpendicular = -3
•Now, Perpendicular passes through (2,-3)
•Equation of perpendicular=>
y-Y1 =m(x-X1)
y-(-3) =(-3)(x-2)
y+3 = -3x+6
3x +y =3 ____________(1)
•Perpendicular at BC
•Slope of BC =(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
=(-3-4)/(2-3)
=7
•also , slope of AB× slope of
perpendicular= -1
•slope of perpendicular = -1/7
•Now, Perpendicular passes through (0,3)
•Equation of perpendicular=>
y-Y1 =m(x-X1)
y-(3) =(-1/7)(x-0)
7(y-3) = -x
7y+x =21 ____________(2)
•Perpendicular at AC
•Slope of AC =(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
=(-3-3)/(2-0)
=-3
•also , slope of AB× slope of
perpendicular= -1
•slope of perpendicular = 1/3
•Now, Perpendicular passes through (3,4)
•Equation of perpendicular=>
y-Y1 =m(x-X1)
y-(4) =(1/3)(x-3)
3(y-4) = x-3
3y-x=9 ____________(3)
