A triangle has corners A, B, and C located at #(4 ,3 )#, #(7 ,4 )#, and #(2 ,8 )#, respectively. What are the endpoints and length of the altitude going through corner C?
See below.
If a line passes through points A and B, we will call this
First we have to find the equation of the line
First find the gradient:
For Using the coordinates of point C: For the point of intersection of Solving Coordinates of intersection: So end points of altitude: Length of altitude: ( 3 .d.p.)

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
