if A(9,-9), (1,-3) are the vertices of right angled isosceles triangle, then find the third vertex

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

I am assuming that given vertices are vertices of hypotenuse.Let A9,-9 and B1,-3Let third vertex be Ch,kAs triangle is isosceles, henceAC=BCh-92+k+92=h-12+k+32h-92+k+92=h-12+k+32h2+81-18h+k2+81+18h=h2+1-2h+k2+9+6k81-18h+81+18k=1-2h+9+6k162-10+18k-6k=18h-2h152+12k=16h38+3k=4hh=3k+384 ;iAs triangle is right angled, henceAC is perpendicular to BCSlope of AC×Slope of BC=-1k+9h-9k+3h-1=-1Now we will put value of h from i to obtain value of k
