12. David is a contractor who is building a house diagonally on a corner lot. To see if the house will fit where he wants it, he has drawn a blue print. The exterior walls of the house are perpendicular. He wants to know if he drew it correctly. Would the walls be perpendicular if the corners of the walls where at the coordinates (2, 0), (4, 1), (2, 5), and (0, 4)? Why? Show all work. Math 78 Unit 7 Pre Test Answers: 1.
