Without using Pythagora’s theorem, show that the points A(1, 2), B(4, 5) and C(6, 3) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle.
The ΔABC is made up of three lines, AB,BC and CA
For a right angle triangle, two lines must be at $90^{\circ}$ so they are perpendicular to each other.
Checking for lines AB and BC
For two lines to be perpendicular, their product of slope must be equal to -1.
Given points A(1, 2), B(4, 5) and C(6, 3)
slope $=\left(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\right)$
Slope of $A B=\left(\frac{5-2}{4-1}\right)=\frac{3}{3}=1$
Slope of $B C=\left(\frac{3-5}{6-4}\right)=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$
Slope of $\mathrm{CA}=\left(\frac{3-2}{6-1}\right)=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$
Checking slopes of line AB and BC
1×-1 = -1
So $A B$ is Perpendicular to $B C$.
So it is a right angle triangle.
