Problem:
Prove using analytic geometry
Here is the specific question:
A landscape architect is drawing plans for a rigid lightweight canopy to provide shade for a patio. Two poles will support the canopy. On the drawing, the coordinates of the verticies of the canopy are:
P (0,0)
Q ( 2,3)
R (8, -1)
and S (6, -4)
What are the best places to put the two support poles?
