Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form. Write the answer in the equation box below.

The line containing the hypotenuse of right triangle ABC where A (–5, 5), B (1, 1), and C (3, 4) are the vertices.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x + 8y - 35 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the line joining A and C.

Slope = (4-5) / (3 + 5)

= -1/8.

Equation is:

y - 4 = -1/8(x - 3)

y - 4 = -1/8x + 3/8

1/8x + y - 35/8 = 0

x + 8y - 35 = 0
