Which statement proves that △xyz is an isosceles right triangle? xz ⊥ xy xz = xy = 5 the slope of xz is , the slope of xy is , and xz = xy = 5. the slope of xz is , the slope of xy is , and the slope of zy = 7.

The slope of XZ is 3/4 , the slope of XY is -4/3 , and XZ = XY = 5 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets look to the attached figure to solve the problem

- To prove that the Δ XYZ is an isosceles right triangle, you must

  find two sides the product of their slopes is -1 and they are equal

  in lengths

- From the figure the vertices of the triangle are;

  X = (1 , 3) , Y = (4 , -1) , Z = (5 , 6)

- The slope of the line whose endpoints are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2)

  is

∵ The slope of

∵ The slope of

∴ The slope of XY = -4/3 , the slope of XZ = 3/4

∵ -4/3 × 3/4 = -1

∴ XY ⊥ XZ

∴ ∠ X is a right angle

∴ Δ XYZ is a right triangle

- The distance between the two points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) is

∵

∵

∴ XY = XZ = 5

∴ Δ XYZ is an isosceles right triangle

* The statement which prove that is:

 The slope of XZ is 3/4 , the slope of XY is -4/3 , and XZ = XY = 5  

its a straight line parallel to the time axis
