Which statement about the points (0, 3), (2, 8), (8, 2), and (0, 1) is true? all four points are in quadrant i. the points (0, 3) and (0, 1) are the same distance from the y-axis. all but one of the points are in quadrant i. the point (8, 2) is the closest to the x-axis.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
