Description

The right angled triangle PQR is to be constructed in the xy-plane, so that the right angle is at P and PR is parallel to the x-axis. The x and y coordinates of P,Q and R are to be integers that satisfy the inequality −4≤x≤5 and 6≤y≤16.

Explanation & Answer

Please find attached a detailed and well explained solution to your problem

Solution.
The two inequalities for triangle PQR are:

−4≤x≤5
6≤y≤16
Since PQR is a right-angled triangle at P, and PR is parallel to the x-axis, then PQ is parallel...
