The hypotenuse f a right isosceles triangle has its ends at the points (1,3) and (-4,1). Find the equations of the legs (perpendicular sides) of the triangle.

Explanation

The end points of the hypotenuse are `( 1,3 ) and ( −4,1 )`.

Let the right angled triangle be ΔABC where AC is the hypotenuse and `∠B=90°`.





The legs of the right angled triangle are AB and BC respectively perpendicular to each other.
